Yale University researcher Robert L. Dorit and colleagues report that humanity's common male ancestor may date to about 270000 years ago based on mutations in the Y chromosome. The study places humans as a recent origin in life’s history and suggests all people are genetically very similar aside from superficial traits.
Dorit notes 270000 year figure after analyzing 38 men from diverse groups. All share the same Y chromosome pattern, implying a very young species with little early genetic variation. The finding aligns with 1901 work tracing female ancestry to a common matrilineal ancestor about 200000 years ago in Africa.
