An international group of scientists discovered that coronaviruses caused epidemics among people in ancient times, the article was published in the scientific publication Current Biology.
One of the massive epidemics occurred among the people of East Asia around 20,000 years ago. This is what the study of the human genome revealed, which has retained traces of the impact of pandemics on the population. & Nbsp;
Proteins that interact with SARS-CoV-2 indicate the conservative nature of the mechanism used by coronaviruses to damage cells in the body. Evolution has helped consolidate the genes of people who tolerated the infection more easily than others. & Nbsp;
We add that in the last 20 years alone there have been three outbreaks of severe coronavirus infections on Earth: SARS -Cov in 2002, in 2012 – MERS- CoV, and in 2019 – SARS-CoV-2.
Earlier, American scientists found a genetic trace in the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, indicating its artificial origin. & Nbsp;
We add, the expert urged to carefully study the origin of COVID-19, otherwise mankind could be faced with COVID-26 and COVID-32. & nbsp;
