Chapter 5, Problem 6PDT

Summary Introduction

To explain: The hypotheses that account for the observation that more genes have experienced recent adaptive evolution in the chimpanzee genome than in the human genome.

Introduction: Chimpanzees are the closest living relative of the humans because they share 96 percent identical DNA sequences with humans. The sequencing of the genome of the chimpanzee is the biggest achievement because it is implicated for human health, and many interesting discoveries have been done to know humans well.
