EVO-DEVO
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 298, 60 - 67 (2008)
REGULATING EVOLUTION
SEAN B. CARROLL, BENJAMIN PRUD'HOMME & NICOLAS GOMPEL
KEY CONCEPTS
• BECAUSE GENES ENCODE INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILDING ANIMAL BODIES, BIOLOGISTS ONCE
EXPECTED TO FIND SIGNIFICANT GENETIC DIFFERENCES AMONG ANIMALS, REFLECTING THEIR
GREAT DIVERSITY OF FORMS. INSTEAD VERY DISSIMILAR ANIMALS HAVE TURNED OUT TO HAVE
VERY SIMILAR GENES.
• MUTATIONS IN DNA “SWITCHES” THAT CONTROL BODY-SHAPING GENES, RATHER THAN IN THE
GENES THEMSELVES, HAVE BEEN A SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF EVOLVING DIFFERENCES AMONG
ANIMALS.
• IF HUMANS WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DISTINGUISHES ANIMALS, INCLUDING OURSELVES,
FROM ONE ANOTHER, WE HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND GENES.
