Humans and Other Primates -- 22 Genes is the Difference
UPI reports: German scientists have narrowed the search for the tiny genetic differences separating humans from other primates to a specific collection of 22 genes.
Though the distinctions between humans and other primates are easy to see, the genetic differences are tiny. Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg used a trick of evolution, the duplication of genes, to help narrow the search for those differences. Read the rest here
