Bone May Reveal a New Human Group
... Reading Guide: Bone May Reveal a New Human Group (NY Times, 3/24/10) This short article describes the discovery of a new fossil which may represent a near relative of modern humans. Make note of the importance of evidence in trying to establish whether the fossil is a new species. Evidence is a crit ...

... 19. In 1973, Stanley Cohen and Herbert Boyer inserted a gene from an African clawed frog into a bacterium. The bacterium then began producing a protein directed by the code found on the inserted frog gene. This same technology is used today to produce pure human insulin. The newly synthesized genet ...
