The Human Genome Project finished in 2003 with an almost “complete” first draft of the human genome sequence. It was about 95% complete — with over 150,000 gaps of DNA left to be sequenced. Scientists are closing these gaps, with only about 100 left! https://bit.ly/32sAXg0 | National Human Genome Research Institute

It's long been believed that modern humans followed a relatively straight path of evolutionary progress. But discoveries of new bone fragments and fossils around the world, alongside breakthroughs in DNA analysis, reveal a much more complex picture. Paleontologists now believe that early Homo sapiens shared the Earth and mated with a surprising variety of previously unknown human species. In this timelapse, paleoartist John Gurche meticulously constructs a model of a recently discovered hominin—
