flag Study finds gut microbes from large-brained primates produce more energy, potentially aiding brain evolution.

flag A new study suggests that gut microbes may have played a key role in the evolution of large human brains by producing more energy. flag 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. flag This increased energy production may have facilitated the development of larger brains over time.
