Two specific genes that evolve exclusively in humans jointly influence the development of the cerebrum. Researchers from the German Primate Center — Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered this in a recently published study. They have thus provided evidence that these genes contribute together to the evolutionary enlargement of the brain.
The results of the study show that the two genes act in a finely tuned…
