Remember the Human Genome Project?

 They weren't being entirely honest with us. When they sequenced the genome in 2003, it was only 92% of it.

Now, with the help of AI, we have the full DNA sequence. Which will tell us a lot about human genetic variation, particularly something called the centromere. This is where DNA splits when cells divide, so when it makes mistakes you get evolution...or cancer.

The big finding is that it supports the fact that there is more genetic diversity within Africa than outside it. Because non-Africans are all descended from the relatively small group of people who left.

Oh, and it might give some massive insights into why we are the way we are.
