Scientists at UC San Diego have discovered a small but powerful section of DNA, called HAR123, that could help explain what makes the human brain so unique. Instead of being a gene, HAR123 acts like a ...

But DNA breaks down fast in the places our distant ancestors roamed. As a result, many of the key adaptations that make us uniquely human date to a period in which ancient DNA is indecipherable. But a ...
