Genes passed down from the incredibly distant past play a key role in the ability of human beings to break down and process carbohydrates. But archaic human species didn’t all possess this ability, and that is why genetic scientists have long been curious about the changes in ancient DNA that helped us develop the capacity to digest these energy-producing starches. Now, a new study from the University of Buffalo and the Jackson Laboratory for Ge…

Changes in Ancient DNA Led to Human Craving for Carbohydrates

The Summary 
New research offers insight into the evolutionary history of amylase genes, which are key to our ability to eat and digest starchy food. A study found that human ancestors started carrying multiple copies of the gene at least 800,000 years ago. Other recent research has suggested that the arrival of agriculture in Europe led people to acquire more amylase gene copies and adapt to starch-rich diets.    Long before humans ate dinner r…
