    DNA research just rewrote the origin of human species

    Scientists have discovered that human origins are more complex than previously believed, with multiple intermingling populations in Africa contributing to the evolution of early humans over hundreds of thousands of years. Genetic data from groups like the Nama people and fossil evidence suggest gene exchange persisted even after populations began diverging around 120,000–135,000 years ago.
