Identifying the specific mutations that make us humans is one of the greatest challenges of biology.

Join Gladstone Institutes' senior researcher Katherine Pollard in exploring the new techniques being used to discover the functions of the fastest evolving regions of the human genome and how individual DNA mutations altered these functions to make us human.

This Leakey Foundation Annual Speaker Series on Human Origins lecture took place at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on November 11, 2015.

The speaker's explanation of differences among mammals at vid 16:00 is very clearly explained and helpful

Erie to see that tissue beating like a heart. That must have been amazing the first time it was observed.

I think she definitely went off-track when she speculated that humans may have developed speech as late as 5,000 years ago. That would have been well within the historical record. Civilization and government were arrived at by 6,000 years ago and, certainly, the beginnings of architecture and engineering, as well. So, speech would have been well-developed by then, of course. Given that art had its origins about 30,000 years ago, it is most likely that speech dates from at least 30,000 to 50,000 years ago.

43:50 15 million mutations divided by 6 million years is not about 3 million mutations/year..it's 2.5/year, or about 3/year.
