But the list of genes known to have tracked or guided humanity's separation from the other apes is a short one.

That sentence ought to flip out the "screech, jabber, and fling dung" crowd.

This report supports a growing consensus among evolutionary anthropologists that hominid divergence from the other great apes was fueled not by the origin of new genes, but by the quickening (or slowing) of the expression of existing genes.

Interesting...this is similar to the proposed manner of evolution for various hormones.
