Inter-Species Differences in Wound-Healing Rate: A Comparative Study Involving Primates and Rodents

This study examined wound-healing rates across different species, finding that humans have a significantly slower rate (0.25 mm d^-1) compared to non-human primates and rodents, which heal at similar rates (0.613 mm d^-1). The results suggest that slow wound healing is unique to humans within the primate order, potentially due to evolutionary adaptations. The study emphasizes the importance of further research into the biological processes of wound healing across species to better understand these evolutionary differences.
