Genes with human-specific features are primarily involved with brain, immune and metabolic evolution
Abstract Background Humans have adapted to widespread changes during the past 2 million years in both environmental and lifestyle factors. This is evident in overall body alterations such as average height and brain size. Although we can appreciate the uniqueness of our species in many aspects, mole...
