Scientists at UCL examined DNA from human's closest relative chimpanzees to make a significant finding in relation to how their bodies have adapted to resist the ravages of malaria - one of the world' ...

In terms of health, comparing how the two species respond to pathogens like malaria could improve our understanding of infectious disease in both humans and chimps, since we share about 98 percent of ...
