However, when the `family' category was introduced, humans and apes were placed in separate families. The prevailing view of modern taxonomists has been expressed by Simpson: ``Homo is both anatomically and adaptively the most radically distinctive of all hominoids, divergent to a degree ...
respectively, and promote the skipping of exon 6, thereby leading to a hominoid-specific and in-frame AS isoform:TBXTΔexon6(Fig.1c). We validated the existence of theTBXTΔexon6transcript in humans and its corresponding absence

The great apes (orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans) descended from a common ancestor around 13 million years ago, and since then their sex chromosomes have followed very different evolutionary paths. While great-ape X chromosomes are highly conserved, their Y chromosomes, reflecting...
primates, which include monkeys, apes, and humans. But most people are unaware of the extraordinarily close relationship we share with the apes. Because of this close relationship, we are much more similar to apes than we are to monkeys. This includes aspects of anatomy, genetics, and even ...
The Genes and Minds Initiative (GEMINI), is a work- shop scheduled for next month in Tokyo to discuss sequenc- ing the ape genome. Nature reports that organizers hope the meeting will launch an international effort to compare the genomes of apes and humans, which are approximately 99% ...
All great apes have a diploid number of 48 chromosomes (humans have 46). The number of chromosomes in gibbons varies from 2N = 38 to 52. Chromosomal defects in apes that are lethal in infancy include trisomy 22 (analogous to human trisomy 21, Down syndrome) in a chimpanzee and a Sumatran...
Nature and biology share a complex relationship .Research shows that culture can influence human evolution. A good example is the rapid spread of a gene that produces a protein which allows humans to digest lactose. Change in culture greatly affected human genetics. Culture ranges from micro-level...
Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver's reboot/remake of the Planet of the Apes inspired by news articles on apes raised as humans and advances in genetics. Jaffa conceived an idea for a film about a genetically enhanced chimp raised in a human household. The film series focuses on a chimpanzee, Cae...
