SAN DIEGO — A tiny stretch of DNA that’s been quietly evolving in humans for millions of years might hold the key to understanding what makes our brains different from our closest animal relatives.

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
