Genetics and the making of Homo sapiens.

Nature - 24 Apr 2003

Carroll Sean B

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis of the physical and behavioural traits that distinguish humans from other primates presents one of the great new challenges in biology. Of the millions of base-pair differences between humans and chimpanzees, which particular changes contributed to the evolution of human features after the separation of the Pan and Homo lineages 5-7 million years ago? How can we identify the...
