Study finds gut microbes from large-brained primates produce more energy, potentially aiding brain evolution.
A new study suggests that gut microbes may have played a key role in the evolution of large human brains by producing more energy.
Researchers found that microbes from large-brained primates, such as humans and squirrel monkeys, helped produce more energy, while those from smaller-brained species stored more energy as fat.
This increased energy production may have facilitated the development of larger brains over time.
