Study concludes evolution of uniquely human DNA was a balancing act
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The difference between humans and chimpanzees lies in only one per cent of their DNA. Human accelerated regions (HARs) are parts of the genome with an unexpected amount of these differences. HARs were stable in mammals for millennia but quickly changed in early humans.
