A vast Indigenous American genome map exposes lost migrations, ancient ancestry and more than a million new variants — The researchers were able to identify genetic signals of natural selection related to immune response, metabolism, growth, and fertility https://t.co/00LV62JeYi #IndigenousGenetics #AncientAncestry #GenomicResearch #US
Researchers from Lund University in Sweden and the University of Sussex in the UK claim that all vertebrates descend from a single-eyed ancestral organism that lived about 600 million years ago, which evolved into the pineal gland in modern humans, revealing a surprising evolutionary link between eye development and brain structure. #Evolution #Science #Ancestry #SE #GB
