We all come from the same place 👏

Ancient Eden near a gigantic lake was home to anatomically modern humans 200,000 years ago

Back then, this region – covering parts of Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe – was believed to be lush green and home to an enormous lake, allowing the ancestors to thrive for 70,000 years. Professor Hayes and her colleagues collected blood samples from study participants in Namibia and South Africa and looked at their mitochondrial DNA .

Geological evidence suggests the homeland region once housed Africa’s largest ever lake system, known as Lake Makgadikgadi.
