Researchers have explored key genetic regions to understand what sets us apart from chimpanzees. A team from Yale University conducted an in-depth study on Human Accelerated Regions (HARs), genetic ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

The Noonan lab at Yale University is focused on understanding how HARs contribute to the evolution of uniquely human brain features.

For the study, published Jan. 30 in the journal Cell, researchers focused on a class of genetic switches known as Human ...

A new study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

Over the past two decades, glaciers worldwide have lost 273 billion tonnes of ice to a warming world, driving sea levels to ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study ...

Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting ...
