Studies have shown that chimps do not suffer from prostate cancer (quite possibly any cancer) and the main reason is that they do not hold onto their passing of urine when it is time for them to make this movement. But with humans we tend to hold our urge to go to the bathroom thus causing us to build up the chemicals (toxic) within our urine and thus this must form a chemical that starts to form a cancer within us. My idea is to study what gene is responsible for allowing this mutation to happen and to find out in chimps what gene they have that does not allow for certain types of cancers.

anderson usathat is a very good observation. however, after that, another idea would be to go spiritually because it is said that the devil is a major cause of illnesses in our lives.

Atlanta USAThe studies are indicating that humans may have a higher likelihood of cancer vs. chimps because of a genetic mutation that allows us to live longer and have bigger brains than chimps. Georgia Tech researcher John McDonald had his study on this hypothesis published recently. See this article about it on LiveScience, Is Cancer the Price for Our Big Brains?: http://www.livescience.com/health/090610-humans-chimps-cancer.html
