New genome has scientists going bananas.
In some ways, macaque monkeys are a lot like people: they can reside in cities, eat everything from peanuts to ice cream, and prefer to live in communities. Research published today will help scientists to figure out any genetic reasons behind these similarities — and behind our differences, from the macaques’ short size and hairy bodies to their vulnerability to disease.
