New research suggests that all human beings came from just one couple 200,000 years ago.
In a groundbreaking new study, scientists from The Rockefeller University in New York City and the Biozentrum at the University of Basel in Switzerland have concluded that each and every human alive today descended from just one couple who lived from between 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.
As the Daily Mail reports, scientists came to this dramatic conclusion after studying the genetic bar codes, or snippets of DNA, of over 5 million animals taken from a whopping 100,000 different species and determined that all people living on Earth are the byproduct of just one couple who managed to survive a major catastrophe that nearly killed off the human race.
