Abstract
Prescott et al. take a step forward in studying primate morphological evolution by a cellular anthropology approach. Through epigenomic profiling of in-vitro-derived cells, the authors identify and characterize candidate cis-regulatory elements underlying divergence in facial morphology between human and chimp, shedding new light on what makes us (look) human.
