I’m raising a glass to evolution.

@embryosophy Robert Dudley’s work on the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme suggests our ancestors gave up some ability to digest geraniol (present in leaves we now find inedible) to become more efficient at digesting ethanol, somewhere between 13 and 21 million

when our ape ancestors climbed down from the trees for a terrestrial lifestyle, collecting fruit feat. dietary ethanol: that's about when a mutation occured ∼10mio y ago, allowing them to metabolize this “alcohol” stuff. they got totally #fruitfaced – hap

Selection for this variant must have helped our primate ancestors consume calorie-rich, semi-rotted (fermented) fruit from the forest floor. So remember this holiday season—drink like a responsible ape. 🎄🍾
