[...] This study is not only incredible, it's also enlightening. It could replicate the moment in evolution where humans became separate from other primates. All due to one gene.

"We had certain hopes — what the gene, ideally, could do and should, if it had the function that we had postulated it should have," lead study author Wieland Huttner of the Max Planck Institute told Inverse.

Erstaunlich. Es reicht offenbar, wenn man ein einziges Gen in einem Affen-Genom verändert, um ein menschenähnliches Gehirn zu erhalten. Der Planet der Affen rückt näher.
