The project investigates the genetic changes that distinguish modern humans from great apes by using organoids derived from human and chimpanzee stem cells. It aims to create a developmental cell atlas to explore the evolutionary adaptations in cognition and metabolism.
Humans diverged from our closest living relatives, chimpanzees and other great apes, 6-10 million years ago.
Since this divergence, our ancestors acquired genetic changes that enhanced cognition, altered metabolism, and endowed our species with an adaptive capacity to colonize the entire planet and reshape the biosphere.
Through genome comparisons between modern humans, Neandertals, chimpanzees and other apes we have identified genetic changes that likely contribute to innovations in human metab…
