What happened to rhesus monkeys? Didn't they evolve from the lemurs?
This is an interesting review article.
Besides making the case against fructose consumption, it suggests that "humans have no functional uricase due to a mutation that occurred in the Miocene epoch," and the "the mutational loss of vitamin C synthesis during the Eocene," could be involved with obesity, metabolic syndrome, aka syndrome X, and type 2 diabetes.
It took me about 3 hours to read.
But I don't think Rhesus monkeys are in our lineage ~ maybe a parallel lineage ~ but like so many i think that blue-eyed blond, broad shoulders part, striding about on the ground started out before the Cretaceous ~ don't you? (/snork)
