Human and chimpanzee gene expression differences replicated in mice fed different diets.

2008 Although the human diet is markedly different from the diets of closely related primate species, the influence of diet on phenotypic and genetic differences between humans and other primates is unknown. In this study,... Read more...

Statistical evaluation of alternative models of human evolution.

4 Nov 2007 An appropriate model of recent human evolution is not only important to understand our own history, but it is necessary to disentangle the effects of demography and selection on genome diversity. Although most genetic data... Read more...

Cognitive decline and human (Homo sapiens) aging: an investigation using a comparative neuropsychological approach.

17 Aug 2007 Using a comparative neuropsychological approach, the authors compared performance of younger and healthy older adults ages 65 and over on tasks originally developed to measure cognition in animals. A battery of 6 tasks was used to evaluate... Read more...
