Our Shared Heritage: Tracing Humanity's Journey from Africa In the grand tapestry of human history, there's a common thread that binds us all: our origins in Africa. It's a fact that echoes through the annals of time, reminding us of our shared heritage as descendants of H. sapiens, the African apes whose footsteps paved the way for civilization as we know it. The story begins in Africa, where our earliest ancestors first emerged. Over millennia, these intrepid Homo sapiens ventured beyond the African continent, spreading across the globe and seeding diverse cultures and civilizations. Even as we journeyed far and wide, our African roots remained steadfast, shaping the very essence of who we are. One fascinating aspect of our African lineage is the legacy of interbreeding with other hominin species, such as the Neanderthals. As H. sapiens populations migrated out of Africa into Europe, they encountered and intermingled with Neanderthals, resulting in a fascinating blend o

~~notes from General Biology I for Science Majors~~ Transformed   bacteria   revealed   the   link  between   genes   and   DNA   Genes -  heritable   information   storage   units  Chromosomes -  threadlike   structures   containing   genes  DNA  is  composed   of  four  nucleotides Nucleotides   of  DNA  are   made   of: -Phosphate   group -Deoxyribose   (sugar) - 1  nitrogen-containing   base   either: Adenine   (A) Guanine   (G) Thymine   (T) Cytosine   (C)  The  DNA  of  any  species   contains   equal   amounts   of  adenine   and  thymine   and   equal   amounts   of  guanine   and   cytosine   DNA  is  a  double   helix  of  two  nucleotide   strands  Sugar-Phosphate   Backbone -  a major   feature   of  DNA  structure,  formed   by  attaching   the   sugar   of  one   nucleotide   to  the   phosphate  from   the   adjacent   nucleotide   in  a  DNA  strand  Hydrogen   bonds   between   complementary   bases   hold  the   two DNA  strands   toget
