Exceptional evolutionary divergence of human muscle and brain metabolomes parallels human cognitive and physical uniqueness.

Metabolite concentrations reflect the physiological states of tissues and cells. However, the role of metabolic changes in species evolution is currently unknown. Here, we present a study of metabolome evolution conducted in three brain regions and two non-neural tissues from humans, chimpanzees, ma...
