Fermented foods may have fueled human brain growth, new evolutionary theory proposes

Review in Communications Biology suggests that the external fermentation of foods may have played a key role in the expansion of the hominid brain. The "external fermentation hypothesis" posits that early hominins' practice of fermenting foods externally contributed to brain growth and gut reduction, offering a novel perspective on human evolution and dietary practices.
