Evolution of man in the light of molecular genetics: a review. Part II. Regulation of gene function, evolution of speech and of brains

摘要: In the first part of this review evolutionary history and genomics human species were considered in light molecular genetic evidence. second emphasis will be put on regulation function genes evolution human-specific traits such as enormously large brains capacity to communicate with a spoken language. The age-old question what specifically makes us humans is also dealt its new lightning genetics genome era. It concluded that, addition structural differences genomes, it most likely that different pattern genes, which evolved for through positive natural sexual selection where growth structure population played significant role, differentiates from our closest living relatives. process characteristics, like size brains, or neocortex, ability speak, interbreeding other forms Homo-genus may have role. role general traits, evident progressive has been quite effective, thus leading accelerated these traits. Finally can cultural gone hand during recent, still continuing, mankind interacting each others bidirectional fashion.
