_The Evolutionary Disconnect: Humans’ Brain Development Outpaces Digestive System_
Humans, monkeys, and gorillas share a common ancestor, but our diets have diverged significantly. While our primate relatives primarily consume plants, humans have adapted to an omnivorous diet, including meat.
_Comparing Digestive Systems: Remarkable Similarities_
Here are key similarities between human, monkey, and gorilla digestive systems:
– _Small Intestine Length_:
– Human: 18-20 feet (5.5-6 meters)
– Monkey: 17-19 feet (5.2-5.8 meters)
– Gorilla: 18-22 feet (5.5-6.7 meters)
– _Colon Length_:
– Human: 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters)
– Monkey: 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters)
– Gorilla: 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters)
– _Digestive System Length_:
– Human: 30 feet (9 meters)
– Monkey: 25-30 feet (7.6-9 meters)
– Gorilla: 30-35 feet (9-10.6 meters)
– _Gut Flora_:
– All three species have similar gut flora compositions
_The Meat-Eating Paradox_
Despite our shift to an omnivorous diet, our digestive system hasn’t undergone significant changes to accommodate meat consumption. This raises questions:
– Why hasn’t our digestive system adapted to break down meat more efficiently?
– How do our gut flora and digestive enzymes handle the increased protein and fat intake?
