According to a new research reported in the Nature journal, Y chromosome – indicator of the maleness of a person - is evolving far faster than the rest of the human genetic code.

·        Y chromosomes of humans are about 30 percent different than that of chimps, our nearest living relatives.

·        Rest of the human genetic code is about 2 percent different from that of chimps.

 According to researchers, "The Y chromosome appears to be the most rapidly evolving of the human chromosomes. It's an almost ongoing churning of gene reconstruction. It's like a house that's constantly being rebuilt."

“Just because the Y chromosome, which determines gender, is evolving at a speedy rate it doesn't necessarily mean men themselves are more evolved,”  hold the researchers and authors or the study report.
