Rehab News:Wild mammals shed light on evolution of alcoholism

Wild mammal closely resembling the earliest primates is drinking palm beer on a daily basis and may have been doing so for up to a million years. However, this Malaysian treeshrew is never drunk. This could shed a whole new light on the evolution of human alcoholism. The research is published in the journal PNAS, It was carried out by an international team led by German biologists Frank Wiens and Annette Zitzmann from the University of Bayreuth.

First author Frank Wiens from the University of Bayreuth and the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim specialises in evolutionary physiology. He said "Alcohol consuming treeshrews are not real shrews. In fact, they belong to the primates' closest living relatives and are ecologically and behaviourally comparable to their extinct ancestors that lived more than 55 million years ago. Studying these fascinating creatures is an unexpected golden opportunity to learn about the causes and consequences of real-life drinking."
