Lipoprotein Genes and Diet in the Evolution of Human Intelligence and Longevity

摘要: Humans have evolved two traits that differ from other great apes and appear to be antagonistic: slower aging despite a major increase in meat eating. The three - chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans the gibbons do not live more than 60 years under best circumstances. longevity of humans higher exposure cholesterol fats apes. Laboratory chimpanzees are highly sensitive dietary fat, which causes hyperlipidemia, accelerated vascular disease, rapid increases myocardial infarcts. Furthermore, clinical animal studies indicate blood is risk factor Alzheimer Disease. We conclude evolution “meat-adaptive genes” was crucial human longevity.
