Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel larger brains, offering a glimpse into the evolutionary biology of primates. Putative model for microbial influences on the ...

Hobbits of Flores evolved to be small by slowing down growth during childhood, new research on teeth and brain size suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

Brain size increased gradually within each ancient human species rather than through sudden leaps between species. Modern humans, Neanderthals, and other recent relatives on our human family tree ...

Modern humans, Neanderthals, and other recent relatives on our human family tree evolved bigger brains much more rapidly than earlier species, a new study of human brain evolution has found. The study ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...
