mapkinase's Journal: Chimps lead "evolutionary" race

News column by Hopkin in Nature reports that chimps' genes are more "positively selected" than humans' and conludes that chimps are "more evolved".

Positive selection

occurs when natural selection favors a single allele and therefore allele frequency continuously shifts in one direction.

How is that leads to "more evolved"??? It is just says that for humans natural selection does not matter much. That is why we have so many maniacs with guns and aircraft carriers.

And, by they way, the original article in PNAS is not even online yet. Somebody had a backdoor pass.
