The paper, "Genomic DNA insertions and deletions occur frequently between humans and nonhuman primates," describes novel findings suggesting that genomic rearrangements, not single base pair changes in DNA, provide the genetic basis for the differences between humans and non-human primates such as the chimpanzee.
