AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the question of whether men or women were the first on Earth. It highlights the complexity of defining "first," given the continuity between humans and their non-human ancestors, making any division arbitrary. The conversation emphasizes that there is no definitive answer to who was first, as both men and women evolved from earlier forms of life. Additionally, it points out that asexual reproduction predates sexual reproduction and gender, further complicating the notion of a singular "first" human.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
