Chimps Evolved More Than Humans

jas_public writes "Since the human and chimp families split about 6 million years ago, chimpanzee genes seem to have evolved more than human genes. The results, detailed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, go against the conventional wisdom that humans are the result of a high degree of genetic selection, evidenced by our relatively large brains, cognitive abilities, and bipedalism. The researchers found that 'substantially more genes in chimps evolved in ways that were beneficial than was the case with human genes.'"

Hm.... good point, being a brilliant and beautiful woman never helped me get laid.

Actually I meant to joke, but it's true. Most guys are completely intimidated by a well educated, intelligent woman. Even though I am, if I may be frank, fairly good looking. Oh... this opens the door for all sorts of horrible remarks, but I'll bear it!

So George Bush really is more advanced?
