Gene Instabilities/Accelerated Regions in the Human Genome

This is REALLY one of the best talks I've ever seen Humans are interspersed rather than tandem

This is fascinating! Thank you for providing such interesting information to the public. The KZbin format allows me to slow down, pause or rewind the video as needed. This is great for people like me who are not experts in biology to take their time to follow the explanations.

Great information. Prof. Lieberman continues to provide useful insights on an important topic. Many thanks.

Nothing yet can be said for sure, but studies on duplication may indicate an interrupted, punctuated, pattern of evolutionary event rather than gradual, accumulative one. This is very intriguing (were this true)! Need definitely to know more!

Does this explain why some men seem to be born without the 'conscience' part of the brain? Would that be a mutation or addition of a different species of genes?

I love this comment.

Besides, if we all came from one family how come nobody is saying brothers slept with sisters??

With the nature of activity so elevated, even above the chimp, it seems to me that either the female of the species has a selective instinct toward change, or their is some eerie support for David Jacob's recent findings. I don't pretend to know anything personally, or understand all of what has been said here, but some of it seems to be jumping off the page in terms of bang for the buck potential for non-destructive change. It's hard to imagine the kind of parity they show generally occurring at random. Of course their may be other reasons, perhaps due to culturally rooted manifestations influencing behavioral aspects of the natural process, but it seems to me that that would be leaning a little toward the likelihood of destiny as a progenitor in a fundamental capacity that gives me the creeps. Is our experience so irrelevant?
