Prehistoric and modern disease rates have been difficult to compare. By finding significant correlation between urban development and an allele associated with Tuberculosis resistance, it is shown that disease rates increase significantly post-urbanisation.

Within developmental biology a distinct and intriguing pattern exists, described as the “Genomic Hourglass”. Describing how different species from the same phylum vary in similarity during development in a predictable way, such startlingly clear morphological similarities in such diverged species shocked early biologists.
