Are human’s smarter than monkey, thanks to genetics? November
 * 2

__//** Statement: **//__
"We found that the anatomy of the chimpanzee brain is more strongly controlled by genes than that of human brains, suggesting the human brain is extensively shaped by its environment no matter its genetics," - scientist Aida Gómez-Robles



The neocortex is the outer layer of the brain, it is characterized by brain folds. Furthermore, this is the region that gives all primates their exceptional intelligence.

People and chimps have an area in the brain known as the "cerebrum area". This area keeps on developing and coming together for a long time after it starts, which is why we keep on learning and grow socially. The cerebrum's ability to keep growing scientists say is because of natural prompts is known as versatility. Which means…..
 * having varied uses or serving many functions (Dictionary.com). **

Also, it is has adaptability that permits us to learn things we never knew during childbirth. Furthermore, chimps show when they get things like helpful prepping practices. However, now scientists have conducted new research which states that hereditary potentials manage the association of a chimp's cerebrum a great deal more than in people, allowing nature to assume a huge part in our neural development; Isn't that neat! :) = = With human genetics our brains are more easy to help external influences. This includes the earth, experience, and social communications with different people to assume a more sensational part in arranging the cerebral cortex. scientists state "being conceived with immature brains may add to our expanded neural versatility". Also, they state that the changing of the area has changed with evolution. =Video:= =media type="custom" key="28049291" This website has a video you should watch on it ;)=

After searching scientists have found something amazing…. They are saying it changes how we look at our ancient ancestors. Scientists have come face to face with a discovery that appears to look like a human species. Furthermore, scientists discovered this species in a burial chamber deep in a cave system in South Africa, there discovery consisted of 15 incomplete skeletons. They have named this species “naledi” and has been put in the class of Homo; which is the same as a modern human. The information and finding is still new to scientists but they feel that these human like creatures lived in Africa millions of years ago.

=Talk and Language? = Some people are wondering if it could speak. That being said one of the specimens shows similarities to our brain in regions associated with speech. However, we are still looking for the answer by look at the grooves and ridges in its brain... if it could have does that mean there is a undiscovered language?

This photo as you can tell it's comparing the bone structure in the hands, to show how much alike it is

This foot shows a comparison of a modern human foot and a naledi food. Look alike?

= WHATS NEW WITH THE CELL CYCLE?! = = #3 =

= = = “Moffitt Cancer Center researchers have found that a protein called TBK1 plays an important role in the process of cell division, especially at a stage called mitosis” ( [] ) =

==== To start off with, in the cell cycle the cells go through a process to divide and multiply, called the cell cycle. We all learnt this in Bio122. Furthermore, in the cell cycle after the parent cells DNA is replicated, the new duplicated DNA along with the cellular organelles are separated into two daughter cells during mitosis and so on. But for people who don't know what mitosis is the definition is " //__ type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.". __// Mitosis isn't the reason I did this wiki though, the reason I did it was to get more understanding of the TBK1 protein and its specific role during the process. Lets get started! ;) ====

=== So what is TBK1? The answer to that question is, it is a protein that does not allow lung growth improvement. TBK1 has been known to focus on specific proteins included in mitosis. Furthermore, specialists known as Moffitt, have started to expand their understanding of why it has anything to do with mitosis and what its role is. In the end of expanding their knowledge, they understood that in mitosis TBK1 is made when their are many more phosphate groups found in mitosis. === === Furthermore, researchers found that the TBK1 protein goes to regions of the cell called centrosomes. The centrosomes are the part that separate the chromosomal. Remember learning that? However, researchers found that if you mess around with the effect of TBK1, the cells did not separate chromosomes, and cary on with the mitosis process. Moreover, TBK1 ties to and enacts two proteins called CEP170 and NuMA that are included in the partition of chromosomes amid mitosis. Disturbance of TBK1 connections with either CEP170 or NuMA brought about deformities in mitosis and anticipated cell division.=== = = = "This new role of TBK1 opens new avenues for targeting TBK1 in cancer, to induce mitotic catastrophe and cell death," said Srikumar P. Chellappan, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Tumor Biology at Moffitt. =

The topic is very new and I had limited resources and hope to keep looking into the topic.
