Humans went into evolutionary overdrive as their brains developed,
sending them on a path that set them apart from other animals,
scientists believe. Researchers who studied the rate of change in the
human brain concluded that Homo sapiens really is special.
Human progress was driven by unprecedented natural selection pressure
and an explosion of genetic mutations in the brain, the scientists
found. Far from being just a more complex form of ape, humans occupied
a unique place in the "tree of life".
