Study finds how humans continue to evolve with new genes
Updated : 3 months, 1 week ago IST
Even though we diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors about 7 million years ago, we are still evolving today. The human lineage has 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA. Some of these novel "microgenes" are thought to be linked to diseases that are un
