This article from BBC News describes how scientists have discovered that Colugos (also known as flying lemurs, for their large flaps of skin connecting their arms and legs that allow them to glide) are the closest relatives to humans after primates. This is an interesting study which shows that colugos share 7 similar genetic mutations with primates which links the two species very closely together. More research into this species could, in the future, tell us more about ourselves.
