Artificial intelligence discovers the unprecedented human ancestors

Based on the current Asian DNA, an artificial intelligence algorithm (AI) has recently discovered a new human species that has never been known. It seems that AI is also showing its importance in archeology.

A recent report in the journal Nature Communications reveals the existence of a mysterious hybrid ape between Neanderthals (primates), Vikings and modern Asians. This extinct ape species was formed after the exodus of 'Out of Africa'.

In ancient anthropology, an archeology specialized in saving people, modern humans originated in Africa, then spread throughout the world through prehistoric migration flows.

Researchers at several European organizations have developed a new AI algorithm for use in archeology. This algorithm, after using the DNA of some modern Asian people, discovered traces of this unknown humanity.

This is a breakthrough that marks the first time to apply artificial intelligence to a deeper understanding of human evolution. Perhaps in the future, archeology may be one of the "early occupations replaced by AI".

The Genome Adjustment Center said the study will pave the way for artificial intelligence technology to be applied in other questions about biology, genomics and evolution.

Previously, scientists knew that the DNA of modern Asians was always intertwined with the existence of a mysterious third ancestor but they still could not determine exactly. But thanks to the AI algorithm that mystery was decoded. This AI is capable of reconstructing the historical path of human formation based on characteristics from the nervous system of different mammals.
