Scientists have discovered that a surprising amount of DNA inside the human body didn't originally come from humans at all. Ancient viruses infected our ancestors millions of years ago, leaving behind genetic fragments that became permanently woven into our DNA and passed down through countless generations. Today, researchers estimate that viral DNA makes up a significant portion of the human genome, and some of these genetic remnants may even help regulate important biological functions. This video explores the shocking discovery of non-human DNA within us, where it came from, and how these ancient genetic invaders may have helped shape human evolution. The deeper scientists look into our DNA, the more they realize that part of what makes us human may have come from something else entirely.
