...sense, that is.Last month, a team of geneticists at HMS and MIT compared the human genome to that of chimpanzees and two more distant primates and found that early humans and chimpanzees may have interbred to form a more successful hybrid species.Scientists had previously believed that humans and chimpanzees split into separate species 7 million years ago. But “on the X chromosome, we’re more closely related to chimpanzees by 1.5 million years,” says David E. Reich, an HMS assistant professor of genetics.Reich says the data suggests that rather than following...

The Crimson’s regular-season road record of 5-2 was a vast improvement over its 1-6 record away from Jordan Field a year ago, but most of Harvard’s trouble this season was on its own turf, where the team...
...eight teams I have ever seen at the Eastern Championships,” co-captain driver Sarah Kennifer said. Under second-year coach Erik Farrar, the Crimson went 11-11 during the regular season, including a 3-5 mark in the CWPA Northern Division. In the Northern Championships, Harvard split its first two games, beating Utica, 14-4, and losing to Hartiwck, 12-2, before beating Brown. In the championship game, the Crimson again fell to the Hawks, 10-4. Little came easy for Harvard this season against quality competition, as it was not only facing some vastly improved teams...
