In part 3 of our special series on human ancestry, we investigate how closely related we all really are. Basic math tells us that all humans share ancestors. But youтАЩll be amazed at how recently those shared ancestors lived. Thanks to genetic data in the 21st century, weтАЩre even discovering that we really are all descended from one mother.
