Ancient Retrovirus's Influence on Human Brain Development
Understanding the Event
A study by 404 Media reveals that an ancient virus, PTERV1, which infects chimpanzees, has influenced the differentiation of human and chimpanzee brain development, leading to a more complex human brain. The virus is missing in the human genome, possibly due to immunity or different living environments in human ancestors. Additionally, crows exhibit exceptional decision-making abilities, with their brain's decision-making circuits potentially influenced by evolutionary pressures from rapid visual motor control.

- 404 Media人类大脑独特性的古老病毒解释
研究发现，一种感染黑猩猩的古老病毒PTERV1影响了人类和黑猩猩大脑发育的分化，导致人类大脑更加复杂。该病毒在人类基因组中缺失，可能是因为人类祖先对这种感染具有免疫力或生活在不同的环境中。此外，乌鸦在快速决策方面表现出色，其大脑决策电路的效率可能受到快速视觉运动控制的进化压力的影响。
