#Drunken Monkeys: Does Alcoholism Have an Evolutionary Basis? As the child of an alcoholic father Robert Dudley long wondered what caused the destructive allure of alcohol.
Then while working in the Panamanian forest as a biologist Dudley saw monkeys eating ripe fruit
Had fruit-eating animals including human ancestors gained an evolutionary advantage by learning to associate the smell and taste of alcohol with ripe fruit?
He named this concept the drunken monkey hypothesis. I thought it was too simple an idea not to have been thought of previously he told Live Science.
and biomechanics of flight at the University of California Berkeley has published a book The Drunken Monkey:
Why We Drink and Abuse Alcohol (University of California Press 2014) that delves into the evolution of humans
'and other animals'attraction to fruit and as a result alcohol. 10 Easy Paths to Self-destruction Introducing the drunken monkey The concept goes like this:
which most people know better as alcohol. Fruit-eating animals everything from primates and other mammals to insects and reptiles began to use the scent of ethanol as a cue to find ripe fruit.
and stimulates the appetite of whatever consumes it (think of an aperitif). Scientists know little about the natural occurrence of ethanol
It's not just Napa vineyards and drunks on the street. There is actually a much broader natural background of alcohol production within fruit
and consumption by tens of thousands of species of animals Dudley told Live Science. His theory casts an attraction to alcohol as an adaptation to the natural world.
However in the modern one where booze is plentiful this adaptation produces a major public health problem for some people according to his hypothesis. His idea echoes the thrifty gene hypothesis which proposes that millennia of natural selection for an efficient metabolism led to diabetes
Likewise most people manage to drink without getting drunk often consuming low levels of ethanol with food he said.
but found his drunken monkey hypothesis rather speculative and unsupported to say the least Miltontold Live Science in an email.
The health effects of alcohol are another point of contention. Dudley cites studies showing beneficial effects of moderate ethanol consumption in a few animals and in humans.
Human cultures have been fermenting alcohol for thousands of years and generation after generation has learned to like it as a result The reason for this attraction probably has nothing to do with nutrition or health:
and fat (cakes for instance or pastries) or involves high intakes of caffeine or alcohol. Basically the nutrients found in healthy foods appear to work together to cause the brain to produce the feel-good hormone#serotonin

#Ancient Nordic Grog Intoxicated the Elite Ancient Scandinavians quaffed an alcoholic mixture of barley honey cranberries herbs
and even grape wine imported from Greece and Rome new research finds. This Nordic grog predates the Vikings.
It was found buried in tombs alongside warriors and priestesses and is now available at liquor stores across the United states thanks to a reconstruction effort by Patrick Mcgovern a biomolecular archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and Delaware-based Dogfish Head Craft
Brewery. You'd think with all these different ingredients it sort of makes your stomach churn Mcgovern the study's lead author told Livescience.
But actually if you put it in the right amounts and balance out the ingredients it really does taste very good.
Drink of the ancients Mcgovern began the journey toward uncovering the ingredients of ancient Nordic alcohol decades ago
and Sweden looking for pottery shards that held traces of old beverages. But in the mid-1990s the technology to analyze these chemical remnants just wasn't available he said.
The other three came from strainer cups used to serve wine found in Denmark and Sweden.
Beer brewing goes back at least 10000 years and ancient humans were endlessly creative in their recipes for intoxicants.
and Romans proved that southern Europeans were among the first wine snobs these authors dismissed Northern beverages as barley rotted in water.
In fact Nordic grog was a complex brew Mcgovern and his colleagues found. The ingredients included honey cranberries and lingonberries (acidic red berries that grow in Scandinavia.
Wheat rye and barley and occasionally imported grape wine from southern Europe formed a base for the drink.
Because the warrior had crafted well weapons in his tomb he was likely of high status. Pure mead was probably a drink for the elite
10 Intoxicating Beer Facts Delicious brew The grog was likely a high-class beverage Mcgovern said.
Dubbed Egtved Girl (pronounced eckt-VED) the corpse was buried wearing a wool string skirt with a bucket of grog at her feet.
In other graves wine-serving kits imported from southern Europe are associated also with women Mcgovern said.
That gives the impression that the women were the ones who would make the beverages in antiquity
and they were the ones that would serve it to the warriors he said The imported wine strainer cups
and traces of grape wine which was produced only in southern Europe suggest a robust trade network in this period Mcgovern said.
Northerners likely shipped Baltic amber southward in return for the wine and drinking utensils. With Mcgovern's help Dogfish Head recreated the Nordic grog in October 2013 using wheat berries honey and herbs.
The only difference was that Dogfish Head's brew contains a few hops the bittering agents used in most modern beers.
Hops weren't used in beers in Europe until the 1500s. Dogfish Head's grog is called Kvasir a name that hints at its roots.
In Nordic legend Kvasir was created a wise man by gods spitting into a jar. Two dwarfs later murdered Kvasir and mixed his blood with honey creating a beverage that was said to confer wisdom and poetry onto the drinker.
The grog tastes sour like a Belgian lambic Mcgovern said. But there are other options available to those who want a taste of Bronze age Europe.
The Swedish brewery Nynã¤shamns Ãgbryggeri created another version of grog called Arketyp and it is available at state liquor stores in Sweden.

#Ancient People of Teotihuacan Drank Milky Alcohol, Pottery Suggests Ancient pottery confirms people made and drank a milky alcoholic concoction at one of the largest cities in prehistory Teotihuacan in Mexico researchers say.
This liquor may have helped provide the people of this ancient metropolis with essential nutrients during frequent shortfalls in staple foods scientists added.
A number of these paintings may also depict scenes of people drinking a milky alcoholic potion known as pulque
Tequila is made also from agave plants but these liquors are made from the baked hearts of these crops not the sap.)
Prior studies hinted that pulque might have helped keep people in Teotihuacan alive. Maguey withstands frost
and drought better than maize and pulque could have provided vital calories most essential nutrients and probiotic bacteria.
To learn more about the diet and culture of the people of Teotihuacan scientists analyzed more than 300 sherds
They focused on residues of the alcohol-making bacterium Zymomonas mobilis which gives pulque its punch.
This project pushed the detection limits of absorbed organic residue analysis said lead study author Marisol Correa-Ascencio an archaeological chemist at the University of Bristol in England.
The scientists discovered 14 sherds with the earliest direct chemical evidence for the making of pulque in Central america.
and pears and 53 percent drank fruit juice. Even more children ate vegetables more than 90 percent of children consumed some vegetables on a given day during the study period.
It s the bitter taste that started all of this supertaster stuff. In 1931 American chemist Arthur Fox accidentally released a cloud of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) powder into his laboratory.
His colleague complained that it tasted intensely bitter while Fox tasted nothing. They tasted it again with the same result.
He found that some found it intensely bitter some mildly bitter and others could not taste anything.
During these experiments Bartoshuk noticed that these supertasters had a more dense covering of structures that contain taste buds (known as fungiform papillae) on their tongue.
But being a supertaster might also put you off healthy bitter foods such as broccoli Brussels sprouts or asparagus.
because it s also present in many wines made from the grape Shiraz (or Syrah).
These wines are noted often for their spicy or peppery characteristics. So when wine experts describe a Shiraz as peppery they re not making it up it contains the same chemical as pepper.
So are some people more sensitive to smell? Sure just as some are more sensitive to taste to light (such as Bono who claims to have sensitive eyes) and to other stimuli.
and smell are essentially little chemistry labs that conduct loads of experiments to determine which chemicals are present in food drinks and air.
