Sumario:Since the first reports of a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-like coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been intense interest in understanding how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in the human population.

Here, we critically review the current scientific evidence that may help clarify the origin of SARS-CoV-2.
