A recent American study revealed that the Corona virus may have invaded East Asia 25,000 years ago.

According to the study published by the "Life Science" website, researchers at the University of Arizona studied 420 human proteins known to interact with corona viruses to find that 332 of them interact with the virus that causes Corona, as most of these proteins help the virus to reproduce inside cells, indicating that corona viruses When they penetrate into human cells, they reproduce, and this means that the success of the virus depends on its interactions with hundreds of human proteins.

The researchers found that people of East Asian descent possess specific genes known to interact with corona viruses, indicating that this group of mutations helped the ancestors of this group to become more resistant to the ancient virus by changing the amount of these proteins made by cells.
