It is a widely accepted theory in the scientific world that we, today’s modern humans, have reached this point as a result of the evolution of primate species. So, do we continue to evolve as humans today? Here is the answer to this question, with new research datum.

The research, published in the journal Cell, finds that today’s humans exist in our evolutionary past. 155 new genes discovers. In addition, two of these genes, found only in modern humans a none was determined as. Evidence for the existence of these microgenes was also evidence that humanity continues to evolve today.

So what role do these genes play in our bodies?

It is not yet known what role most of the 155 discovered genes play in human DNA. But scientists will now try to learn the role of genes in our bodies in their next studies.

Scientists can currently do only with samples taken from cells The role of 47 genes managed to detect. Of these genes, 44 were growth disorders and three were genes associated with diseases such as muscular dystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa and Alazami.
