"Huge Increase in Size of Cerebral Cortex" --Scientists Pinpoint Unique Evolution of the Human Brain - The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel:
"Over the last million years of evolution, our brain underwent a considerable increase in size and complexity, resulting in the exceptional cognitive abilities of the human species.
This brain enlargement is largely due to an increase in the number of neurons in the cerebral cortex, the outer part of the brain.
Since we share about 99% of our genome with that of our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, it has remained a daunting task for scientists to identify which human-specific gene changes may underlie the unique aspects of human brain evolution..."
