External
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), and the D-BSSE present new insights into the development of the human brain and differences in this process compared to other great apes in a study published in Nature this week. The study reveals features of brain development that are unique to humans, and outlines how these processes have diverged from those in other primates.
