Man has always been hailed as the smartest creature on earth, but no one can explain why? Now scientists' latest research finally gives the answer Scientists claim that duf1220, a tiny particle in human brain protein, makes us the smartest creature on earth According to reports, the large size of the brain means that it has more cortex layer, which controls higher thinking process and has higher concentration of nerve cells According to the investigation of scientists, the size of modern human brain is three times of that of apes More importantly, the proportion of human body is quite different from that of apes, but the ability of human mind evolution is the fastest This mystery has puzzled researchers for decades The latest results of the study answer this question This research shows that the key factor to promote the development of human brain is the special component of protein, which is called protein domain, also known as "duf1220" Human DNA molecules contain 270 pairs of duf1220, far more than other organisms The content of duf1220 in DNA molecules of other species is the highest in chimpanzees, 125 pairs in gorillas, 99 pairs in gorillas and 30 pairs in marmosets In addition, there is a pair of "duf1220" in the DNA molecule of mice According to Professor Skyla of the University of Colorado, the more duf1220 pairs in the genome, the larger the brain At the same time, his study also found that duf1220 is closely related to brain disorders.
