Human and chimp genes separated 13 million years ago: Sex drive of male apes caused the split to occur twice as long ago as first thought

The study by the Wellcome Trust Centre in Oxford, contradicts previous work that suggests humans and chimps diverged around seven million years ago.

Male chimps pass more genetic mutations to their offspring than humans
