Join me as I dive into the wild world of genetics and challenge myself to find out what that 1% difference between humans and chimps really means!

Humans vs Chimps: 1% DNA, Huge Differences

Humans and chimps share 99% of their DNA, but the 1% difference equals 35 million genetic changes. The real secret isn't new genes, but in genetic 'switches' that control when and where genes activate.

We have 'human-accelerated regions' cranked up for brain growth. A duplicated gene, SRGAP2C, slows our neuron development, letting them form far more connections.

We even lost a jaw-muscle gene, allowing our skulls to reshape for a bigger brain. Plus, our DNA is folded differently, changing which genetic pages are readable, and 8% of it is ancient viral code—a different history than chimps. Same parts, radically different software.
