Johan Jakobsson and his team tries to understand how the human brain is so different in complexity and size to the brains of other great apes, even though our coding genome is almost identical. In an attempt to answer that, they used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to generate neural progenitors from both humans and chimpanzees, which is our closest living relative in evolutionary terms.
