Study Suggests Catalyst for Human Brain Evolution

Friday, April 28, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- More than a million years ago, large chunks of the human genome were rearranged—a chance event during egg or sperm formation that led to the deletion, duplication, or reversal of sections of DNA. Those structural variants, researchers have now discovered, likely set off a cascade of other rapid changes in human DNA that may underlie uniquely human features, particularly the brain.

Key Points: 
  • Those structural variants, researchers have now discovered, likely set off a cascade of other rapid changes in human DNA that may underlie uniquely human features, particularly the brain.
  • The new finding, published today in Science by researchers at Gladstone Institutes, came out of a study analyzing how stretches of DNA called human accelerated regions (HARs) differ between humans and chimpanzees.
  • Researchers have long wondered why these sequences—many of which control brain development—changed so rapidly in early human evolution.
  • Her lab has since shown that most HARs are enhancers, short stretches of DNA that regulate the activity of genes related to brain development.
