Metabolic changes in human brain evolution.

Evolutionary anthropology - 1 Jul 2020

Bauernfeind Amy L, Babbitt Courtney C

Abstract excerpt

Because the human brain is considerably larger than those of other primates, it is not surprising that its energy requirements would far exceed that of any of the species within the order. Recently, the development of stem cell technologies and single-cell transcriptomics provides novel ways to address the question of what specific genomic changes underlie the human brain's unique phenotype. In this review, we...
