Dwindling to Less Than 1,300 Individuals, Humanity Almost Went Extinct 900,000 Years Ago
A new study of the human genome has discovered evidence that humanity nearly went extinct nearly 900,000 years ago, due to the species having dwindled to less than 1,300 reproductively-capable individuals, quite probably from a climate-related disruption. This genetic bottleneck persisted for over 100,000 years, and would explain a gapread more
