When I stumbled upon this explaining new discoveries about the evolution of the human brain, I was intrigued. The article says that gnomic data is helping to understand the brain, much more so than ever before. Because of the recent increase in how much data there is, they can now compare humans to other species. Daniel Geschwind, professor of human genetics at the University of California, says that they are currently testing "hypotheses based on comparative genomics in experimental systems." Lately there have been more and more findings of important changes in human genomes. If they continue this important research, we may have a new key factor in discovering how humans evolve over time.
