Comparative Aspects of DNA in Higher Primates

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Molecular Anthropology

Part of the book series: Advances in Primatology ((AIPR))

Abstract

The DNA of a species documents its evolutionary history. For this reason, the analysis of DNA is of fundamental interest to the science of anthropology. Moreover, an understanding of how DNA evolves contains valuable clues to its functions, a point which is becoming increasingly apparent to molecular biologists. Thus the two sciences converge to their mutual benefit.
