Scientists study 155 new genes to see how humans continue to evolve
Updated : 1 month, 1 week ago IST
Nearly 7 million years ago, modern humans diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors, yet we have since continued to evolve. Within the human lineage, 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA have been discovered. A handful of these "microgenes" are projected
