This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events?<br/><br/>Evolution FTW.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/57566/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/57566/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Human Genome Project Phase 2]]></title><description><![CDATA[The original Human Genome Project mapped the DNA from one person and took 13 years to complete.  Today the 1000 Genome Project was announced - a plan to map the differences between individual humans that will give an insight into the physiological differences between us, and genetic diseases too.  It is expected to take 3 years.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/48019/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/48019/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Human Genome - World's Greatest Battlefield]]></title><description><![CDATA[8 percent of the human genome is made up of viruses that once attacked our ancestors. The viruses lost. What remains are the molecular equivalents of mounted trophies,  DNA fossils.

The discovery is based on the idea that as organisms evolve, sections of genetic code that do something useful for the organism change in different ways.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/42555/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/42555/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Losses Of Long-established Genes Contribute To Human Evolution]]></title><description><![CDATA[While it is well understood that the evolution of new genes leads to adaptations that help species survive, gene loss may also afford a selective advantage. A group of scientists has investigated this less-studied idea, carrying out the first systematic computational analysis to identify long-established genes that have been lost across millions of years of evolution leading to the human species.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/44296/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/science/l/44296/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Becoming Human:  Paleoanthropology, Evolution and Human Origins]]></title><description><![CDATA[Journey through the story of human evolution in an interactive documentary.]]></description><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/20775/1/</link><guid>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/20775/1/</guid><category>science</category><pubDate></pubDate> </item><item><title><![CDATA[Researchers: Human Evolution Speeding Up]]></title><description><![CDATA[Science fiction writers have suggested a future Earth populated by a blend of all races into a common human form.
