Guts and Brains: An Integrative Approach to the Hominin Record


Overview

The human brain and its one hundredbillion neurons compose the most complex organ in the body and harness more than 20 per cent of all the energy we produce.Why do we have such large and energy-demanding brains, and how have we been able to afford such an expensive organ for thousands of years?
