Baboon genomes shed new light on complex evolutionary history

Mapping baboon genomes could help unravel the evolutionary history of modern humans, new research has found. There are six readily distinguishable species of baboon which hybridize in the wild giving them value as a model of complex evolutionary divergence, hybridization and reticulation. An international team of scientists led by the Baylor College of Medicine and … Continue reading Baboon genomes shed new light on complex evolutionary history
