Had him for a course at Stony Brook, great professor. Such a down to earth man, you would never know how renowned he is.

It's interesting to see from the second part of this lecture, that much of the genetic differences between species have nothing to do with natual selection, as the differences are usually found on genes that don't actually do anything.

Also, many active and essential genes are found in different, distantly related species, and sometimes have the same funtion.

Something to remember when you hear someone say that we share so much of our DNA with a chimpanzee... or with a banana for that matter.
