So the benefit of this gene is... we die of heart attacks unless we go jogging regularly? Where do I sign up to get it back?

  The other benefit (of not having this gene) is post-birth brain development.

    That's one of our many genetic differences but the article and paper don't include the word "brain." Do you have a source showing that it's related to this particular gene?

      Oh, sorry for not including the source, earlier. Here it is: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC129338/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC129338/
