Robert Waterston Suited Quotations

As our closest living evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees are especially suited to teach us about ourselves. We still do not have in our hands the answer to a most fundamental question: What makes us human? But this genomic comparison dramatically narrows the search for the key biological differences between the species.

Chimpanzees are especially suited to teach us about ourselves. Comparing the genomes will help us address the question of the specific things that make us human.
