R_3_17 — Neoteny & Heterochrony: Developmental Timing in Evolution

Heterochrony — evolutionary change in the timing or rate of developmental processes — is one of the most powerful mechanisms by which organisms evolve new morphologies without requiring entirely new genetic programs. The

Z_3_01 — Genetics of Brain Development — ASPM, Microcephalin, HAR1

The human brain is approximately three times larger than expected for a primate of our body size, with a vastly expanded cerebral cortex containing ~86 billion neurons. Identifying the genetic basis for this extraordinar
