how did human brains get so big? the answer could be in our gut.

tue, 03 dec 2024 09:00:00 gmt

microbes supporting the production of more metabolic energy could be key to the evolution of large brains.

new research provides the first evidence that differences in gut microbiomes across species are linked to how energy is used in the body. this could have shaped human evolution of larger brains.
the gut microbiome is a community of microorganisms in the digestive system. previous research has linked changes in the gut microbiome to changes in host metabolism (the processes in the body that convert or use energy).
the study found that mice given gut microbes taken from large-brained primates ate more and shifted their energy usage to glucose – the brain’s primary fuel source. whereas the mice that were given gut microbes from smaller-brained primates stored the energy as fat.
this change in energy utilization could be an explanation of how humans were able to evolve large brains relative to body size that are energetically expensive to maintain.
