- In the new study, the researchers construct an evolutionary family tree for Homo sapiens, based on the sequenced genomes of modern humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans. Only 1.5 % to 7 % of the collective human genetic instruction book, or genome, contains uniquely human DNA. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/only-a-tiny-fraction-of-our-dna-is-uniquely-human 14 comments science
