The removal of all or part of the prefrontal lobe of the cerebrum turns a man into a (Democ)rat.

Of the 731 genes they located on the mouse chromosome, only 14 did not have a doppelganger in humans. Likewise, there were only 21 genes in the corresponding regions of human DNA that did not turn up in the mouse.

We'll see where this leads. Right now according to those numbers and the one mouse chromosome being analyzed. The difference is just ~2.5% if you divide 35/2 by 731. Suddenly the neighborhood is crowded.

Human brains over chimp

Dramatic differences in gene activity distinguish human and chimpanzee brains, say researchers. The difference may explain our differing behaviour and looks, despite sharing 98.7% of our DNA.

And Craig Venter looks more and more correct in his statement --- My view of biology is 'We don't know shit.' "

The new work suggests that neither genome has changed much since we shared a common ancestor 100 million years ago. "The differences are going to be few rather than many," says Richard Mural of Celera Genomics, the Maryland company that compared the mouse chromosome with human DNA.

If that's the best argument anybody can make for evolution these days, then desparation has really set it.
