Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel bigger brains, offering a glimpse into primate evolutionary biology. Hypothetical model for microbial effects on high- and low-EQ primate metabolism. Our findings indicate microbially mediated pathways through which the metabolism of high-EQ primates is directed toward energy production and the metabolism of low-EQ primates is directed toward energy storage. In a recent study published in the journal Microbial Genomicsresearchers in the United States investigated the role of the gut microbiome in influencing host metabolism across species, focusing on primates with different brain sizes. They transferred gut microbial flora from humans,…
