By comparing the human and chimp genomes, we can see the process of evolution clearly in the changes (in DNA) since we diverged from…

— Jill Bolte Taylor

“In the 1970s Allan Wilson and Mary-Claire King at Berkeley correctly theorized that the evolution of genes is less important than the evolution of…

Though we come into the world with thousands of years of genetic data, the evolutionary process never stops.
