We’re all human: Scientists create world’s biggest family tree linking 27 million people
OXFORD, United Kingdom — The world’s biggest family tree linking around 27 million people has been created by scientists. The genetic model combines thousands of modern and prehistoric genomes, providing new insight into key events in human history.
The breakthrough is a major step towards mapping the entirety of human relationships, with a single lineage that traces the ancestry of all people on Earth. The family tree also has widespread implications for medical research, identifying genetic predictors of disease.
“We have basically built a huge family tree, a genealogy for all of humanity that models as exactly as we can the history that generated all the genetic variation we find in humans today. This genealogy allows us to see how every person’s genetic sequence relates to every other, along all the points of the genome,” says principal author Dr. Yan Wong in a university release.
The University of Oxford team combed through eight databases containing 3,609 different genome sequences from 215 populations. They included samples from across the world; some being over 100,000 years-old. The resulting network contained almost 27 million ancestors and 231 million ancestral lineages.

Ebony and Ivory, we all live in harmony......
That’s weird, I read all 27 million names and didn’t see one palestinian
I took a DNA test and failed
Try it again in Rio Linda. They grade on a curve.
I guess I’ll have to get a bigger Christmas tree for all these presents.
Early humans traveled around the world, and evidently encountered quite a few women.
Well, Neanderthal girls are hip, I really dig those pelts they wear...
and the Erectus girls with the way they walk upright, they knock me out when I’m down there
The mideast Sapiens’ daughters really make you feel alright
and the Denisovan girls with the way they kiss, they keep their cavemen warm at night
But I wish they all could be Cro Magnon girls...
“That’s weird, I read all 27 million names and didn’t see one Palestinian.”
Oh, good one!
Nice....
Now you have to make the video!
That’s my algebra I teacher. Really, put a shirt on him and that’s Mr. Gibbons
Yeah, no joke, he had an apes name.
Pretty sure the whole world is related through Noah’s sons and daughters and their spouses.
/-)
This tree stuff is interesting, my sister gets relative found updates a lot.
We have 3 U.S. presidents and 3 Ceasers of Rome in ours.
Even one ancestor at Plymouth rock and another at Jamestown.
It really is a small world,
and we really are all related.
Too bad some of us want to bully the rest of us around.
.
Ha! Very Good.
Got nothing on West Virginia….
You win.
