    • Primates that eat leaves have to lie around for hours, with all their energy going toward digestion. Eating fruit, on the other hand, offers an animal a jolt of calories in an easy-to-digest package. In primates, the main beneficiary of all that newly available energy is the brain. — (Lizzie Wade, Is fruit eating responsible for big brains? sciencemag.org le 27 mars 2017)
