There really is somthing odd about humans, and now with the Human Genome Project, science is finding out why.The newly-discovered gene, known as Tre2, is only found in humans and a few higher primates, and scientists think that it might have be the seed that caused much of the genetic change in humans, duplicating, mutating, and making them so very different from any other primate.
