JUST THE ONE?
RESEARCH INTO THE humans came to enjoy alcohol is an interesting area of evolutionary science, with some suggesting its roots can be traced back millions of years. One school of thought is that apes and monkeys were lured toward fermenting fruit due to its high nutritional value, and new analysis of urine samples of these socalled “drunken monkeys” offers firstof-a-kind evidence that they actually metabolize the ethanol within it. In other words, they’re not just boozing for the “nutritional value”; they get pissed as well.
