Yeah. I do know the brain has a bunch of cholesterol, but I’ve also read that none of it comes from eating cholesterol. Something about blood brain barrier preventing it from getting up there, and our bodies synthesize all of it, but I really dont know what I’m talking about here.
This fermentation theory is a new fav of mine. I really think once we got in a position where culture can really take hold and art and family knowledge became both helpful with survival and sexually selected for, it was off to the races for making complex smarts. Brain size aint the only thing that matters either. There are many animals with larger brains than ours, but they aint been designing rockets or learning how to fold cool things out of paper or even painting portraits or making ink to write so-n-so’s got a big bum and I like it… What was I talking about?
