Our brain is the organ that most distinguishes us from other primates. Its large size, complexity and capabilities exceed those of any other species on our planet. However, we share up to 95% of our ...
Yet humans share upwards of 95% of our genome with chimpanzees, our closest living relatives. Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional ...
When chimpanzees reach adolescence, life becomes very different from what they've experienced so far — they must find their place in the complex social world of adults. Rachna Reddy, a ...
Summary: While humans share over 95% of their genome with chimpanzees, our brains are far more complex due to differences in gene expression. Research shows that human brain cells, particularly glial ...
Previous research has found differences in gene expression between humans and chimpanzees, and that human cells tend to have higher gene expression, but the picture was blurry. The brain is made ...
