Our relative genetics
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted on sequenced genome of the chimpanzee to find out what biologically makes us human. Data on the chimpanzee genome helps in detecting differential selection on individual genes and also, helps to judge whether normal microevolutionary processes are sufficient to account for human origins.
