Humans Evolved In A Shorter Time Period

  • 9 years ago
A recent study has found that the original ancestral man likely lived 100,000 years later than previously thought, indicating that evolution and genetic diversification also happened more quickly.

Humans have undergone evolutionary changes in a shorter time frame than previously estimated. 

In fact, a recent study has determined that the one male from whom an unbroken line of male descendants originated likely lived about 239,000 years ago, shortening the existing timeline by about 100,000 years.

And because of the more condensed period, researchers believe that evolution and genetic diversity have been occurring at a faster pace. 

The findings were based on an analysis of
