rieraci discovered 19 months ago- Recent studies looking into the phenomenon known as horizontal gene transfer (HGT) - where genes from one species can be transferred to another - show that organisms can acquire add-on genes from sources other than their parents or ancestors. Pooh-poohed 50 years ago, HGT's modular mode of gene transfer may explain how evolution rocketed at certain points, and even why there is such a cognitive divide between humans and chimps.
