How the loss of genes has shaped the genome as we know it
... Genomes are the product of a long evolutionary process. Many genes have multiple copies, reflecting the importance of gene duplication during genome evolution. The duplication of genes with regulatory functions has been associated with the development of novel functions. However, there is strong evi ...

Overview There has been a trend towards larger brains in hominins
... We are bipedal. Human bipedalism was made possible by anatomical changes involving the toes, legs, spine, pelvis, and muscles The skeletal structure of the feet of a chimpanzee and a modern human differ. ...

early brains
... • As early humans faced new environmental challenges and evolved bigger bodies, they evolved larger and more complex brains. • Large, complex brains can process and store a lot of information. That was a big advantage to early humans in their social interactions and encounters with unfamiliar habita ...

Human vs. Chimp
... deletions of DNA bases (also known as “indels”). There are ≈5 million small (1-15 bp) indel differences between human and chimp. If these are counted as mismatches, the divergence between species is around 5%. There are also much larger insertions/deletions, differences in gene or genome region copy ...

Human evolutionary genetics
Human evolutionary genetics studies how one human genome differs from another human genome, the evolutionary past that gave rise to it, and its current effects. Differences between genomes have anthropological, medical and forensic implications and applications. Genetic data can provide important insight into human evolution.
