Abstract
Human evolution and migration are central to understanding the origins of modern humans and their spread across the globe. The genetic basis of human evolution is revealed through the study of ancient and modern genomes, providing insights into the processes of adaptation, natural selection, and gene flow. This article explores how genetic evidence has reshaped our understanding of human evolution and migration patterns. It discusses the role of genetic markers, such as mitochondrial DNA (mDNA), Y-chromosome markers, and autosomal SNPs, in tracing human ancestry and migration routes. Furthermore, the article examines how genetic data have uncovered previously unknown migrations and interactions between different human populations, challenging traditional models of human evolution.
