Scientists Rewrite Human Family Tree With Surprise Discovery

Scientists just discovered that humans didn't come from one group of ancestors in Africa—instead, different early human groups mixed and mingled together for hundreds of thousands of years before becoming the people we are today! By studying the DNA of African people living now and comparing it with ancient bones, researchers found that our family tree is way more complicated and interesting than anyone thought. Now we know that our ancestors were constantly meeting up and having babies together, which makes us all connected in ways scientists never realized before!
