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.

Navigating climate dynamics: Epidemiological modeling examines the mortality impact of variable temperatures in Europe

Study evaluates the effect of using weekly and monthly aggregated data instead of daily records to estimate the temperature-mortality relationship in Europe. It finds that while these aggregated models capture major trends, they tend to underestimate the impact of extreme temperatures.
