How does a new kind of behavior arises in evolution? Allen Distinguished Investigators @neuroluci, & @SGRodriques at @TheCrick are studying larvae brains of a species of fruit fly that have evolved to jump 10 times their body length. #FrontierScience alleninstitute.org/what-we-do/fro… 🧵 3
🧠 What makes human brains different from those of other animals?
Allen Discovery Center leader @ChrisAWalsh1's team found a human-specific effect in evolution on one gene that slows the pace of our brain cells' growth during development. #FrontierScience

The scientists also collated the known 3,171 human accelerated regions into a single, open-access dataset that they hope will be of use to other scientists interested in human evolution. #OpenScience
