Women may think of men as primitive, but new research indicates that the Y chromosome — the thing that makes a man male — is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.

A new study comparing the Y chromosomes from humans and chimpanzees, our nearest living relatives, show that they are about 30 percent different. That is far greater than the 2 percent difference between the rest of the human genetic code and that of the chimp's, according to a study appearing online Wednesday in the journal Nature.

These changes occurred in the last 6 million years or so, relatively recently when it comes to evolution.

That you're evolving "relatively quickly" only proves that you guys had a long, long way to go :rofl:

we are studying karyotypes and chromosomes in my class right now. I printed this out for the entire class to read and debate... Thanks for today's lesson Strom!
