From Comparative Genomics to Synthetic Biology: Using Ancestral Gene Reconstruction Approaches to Test Hypotheses Regarding Proximate Mechanisms in our Evolutionary History

Description:

At its core human evolutionary biology seeks to answer the question of how the defining characteristics of modern humans evolved, such as large-brains, obligatory bipedal gait, extended juvenile period, and increased longevity. Traditional fossil-based research uses morphology to infer behavior...
