The secret of humans liking alcohol: Research done on drunk monkeys, consume alcohol to eliminate fatigue and increase strength

 In Panama, a species of monkey named Black-handed Spider Monkey loves palm fruit. They are so crazy about this fruit that they get intoxicated after eating it. Actually, palm fruit contains alcohol called ethanol, due to which monkeys feel sleepy after eating it.

Keeping in mind the drunken monkeys, American scientists are now trying to find out why humans like alcohol so much. For this, he has started research on Black Handed Spider Monkey. However, there are many other species of monkeys that get intoxicated by eating different types of fruits and flowers.

Research on the urine of monkeys

Monkeys have made alcohol a means of relieving their fatigue and getting sleep.

Researchers took urine samples of two spider monkeys. On examination, there was strong evidence of ethanol in the urine. Scientists say that ethanol is being digested and used in the body of monkeys. They have made alcohol a way of relieving their fatigue and getting sleep.

monkeys are attracted to alcohol

Northridge California State University scientist Christina Campbell, who was involved in the research, says that monkeys living in forests are intoxicated, this was first reported by biologist Robert Dudley in the year 2000. Dudley said that monkeys are attracted to the taste and smell of alcohol. They recognize the intoxicating fruits and eat them quickly, so that no other animal can eat them. Now this hypothesis has been proved to be true.

Monkeys consume ethanol for energy

Monkeys like to eat fermented fruits not only for intoxication, but also to keep their digestion healthy.

The monkeys who were included in the research were tried to feed them fruits filled with ethanol. However, the monkeys distanced themselves from these fruits. When these monkeys were released outside in the forest, they themselves started eating palm fruit after finding it.

This research shows that monkeys prefer to eat fermented fruits containing ethanol, not just for intoxication, but to keep their digestion healthy and increase energy levels.

Alcohol habit is also part of evolution

Scientists believe that the properties of evolution have been transferred from monkeys to humans over millions of years. This means that whether it is a monkey or a human, everyone likes alcohol.

Christina believes that the thinking of humans can also be that of monkeys. Perhaps humans also like to consume alcohol to increase energy and eliminate fatigue. Local people in Central and South America use this palm fruit. From this country liquor named Chicha is made. The more fermented fruits you eat, the more strength the body will get.

Scientists believe that the properties of evolution have been transferred from monkeys to humans over millions of years. This means that whether it is a monkey or a human, everyone likes alcohol. Humans, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas have very similar genes. One of these genes is such that it improves the ethanol enzyme by 40 times.
