SpainThe article discusses the evolutionary history of human diet, focusing on the shift from fruit-based consumption to a more diverse omnivorous diet over millions of years. It notes that our closest primate relatives, chimpanzees, relied heavily on fruits rich in sugar, minerals, and fiber, likely to identify ripe and sweet food sources. Over time, the proportion of sugar in daily energy intake decreased significantly, while the brain, despite being dependent on glucose, continued to grow relative to body size. Today, the brain accounts for 2% of body weight but consumes 20% of total energy required by the body.
