Abstract Synopsis

  • The gut microbiota influences metabolic differences among primate species, particularly in relation to brain size.
  • Inoculating germfree mice with gut microbiota from three primate species revealed that larger-brained primates promote energy use, while smaller-brained ones encourage energy storage.
  • These results suggest the gut microbiome may have played a significant role in metabolic evolution, particularly in humans, to support the development of larger brains.
