Neuropsin and the Evolution of Humain Brains
A team in China has been experimenting with a protein called Neuropsin and it's link to human brain development. The protein comes in two flavors Neuropsin I (the short version) and Neuropsin II (the longer version). The theory behind the Chinese experiment is that a genetic mutation allows the body to produce the longer version. Neuropsin is thought to be a key protein in the learning and memory functions of the human brain. The experiments spliced a section of human DNA in chimps, with this new DNA the chimps did indeed start to produce the protein. No word on if the chimps started to conspire against humanity ala Planet of the Apes.
