- Humans have much higher body fat than closest primate relatives, despite sharing 99% of the same DNA. New study suggests it has to do with an ancient molecular shift in how DNA is packaged inside fat cells, which curbed our body's ability to turn 'bad' white fat into 'good' brown fat. https://academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-article/doi/10.1093/gbe/evz134/5522369 19 comments science
