*Human Genetics*

Due to billions of years of evolution, humans share genes with all living
organisms. The percentage of genes or DNA that organisms share records
their similarities. We share more genes with organisms that are closely
related to us. For example, study of the chimpanzee genome indicates a
difference of about 1.2% from humans. However, there are still significant
differences between us. A video will be used to illustrate our genome
differences with other living things and will describe the role of
chromosomes, DNA, RNA and proteins in the development of a human being. We
will briefly mention how the field of epigenetics

has increased our understanding of how environment impacts who we are by
switching genes on and off without changing our DNA sequence. We will also
mention how the Male Y chromosome is being used to trace our human origin.
