https://www.science.org/content/article/tibetans-inherited-h... There are a lot of things like this popping up in genetics research these days. I don't know why people in general hold so tightly onto this notion that humans are 200k-300k years old. It's very obvious from the evidence that humans have been around for ~2 million years and that around 200k-300k years ago a set of genes were selected for that were quite good at spreading around the entire human world (while still maintaining a significant degree of admixture with humans who were already there). It's honestly kind of insulting. It would be like if people looked at the genetics of Australia, discovered that there were no "pureblood" aboriginals anymore and declared that humans arrived on the continent with James Cook. Not only would it be factually incorrect, but it would deeply bias any possible study of australian aboriginal life. |
