This transition implies that the genomes of modern human, chimpanzee, and gorilla began adapting at least 10 million y ago to dietary ethanol present in fermenting fruit https://t.co/3dOxShqeHm #wine

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. 🎄🍾

Any one who argues humans need meat because our ancestors evolved the ability to digest meat 2.5 million years ago must also argue humans need alcohol because our ancestors evolved the ability to digest alcohol 10 million years ago. https://t.co/Ep3FrZcki
