Genetic differences between humans and great apes.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Jan 2001

Gagneux P, Varki A

Abstract excerpt

The remarkable similarity among the genomes of humans and the African great apes could warrant their classification together as a single genus. However, whereas there are many similarities in the biology, life history, and behavior of humans and great apes, there are also many striking differences that need to be explained. The complete sequencing of the human genome creates an opportunity to ask which genes are...
