[When you compare] a human vertebra, a chimpanzee vertebra, [and] the vertebra of a lemur, you can see that the human and the chimpanzee are much more similar to each other when compared to the lemur.

Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build the spine and ...
