Is the Human Race Evolving to Have Three Strands of DNA?
A few years ago, geneticists officially acknowledged the first case of a child with three strands of DNA. This child, named Alfie Clamp, was a two year old boy who became the only person in the world to be diagnosed with three DNA strands. Unfortunately, he was born blind and with severe disabilities. Recently, a Cambridge study is now suggesting that four strands (quadruple helix) of DNA also exist within humans. Some geneticists even believe that the human body has the potential to carry 12 strands of DNA.
