SARS-CoV-2 evolves more rapidly in the brain than in the lungs, which may explain the neurological symptoms with COVID-19 and long COVID. The new study using mouse models found that the virus accumulated more mutations in the brain, particularly in the spike protein.

SARS-CoV-2 evolves faster in the brain, shedding light on long COVID
The COVID-19 virus mutates faster in the brain than in the lungs, potentially explaining neurological symptoms like brain fog. These mutations may help the virus adapt, raising concerns about the evolution of new variants.

Research has found the earliest 'protodogs' actually had larger brains than their wolf relatives, probably a result of adapting to living alongside us, but by 5,000 years ago, that increase had reversed dramatically, and dogs' brains were now 46% smaller than wolves'.

Harvard biological anthropologist Richard Wrangham argues that fire and cooking is what made humans human. His "cooking hypothesis" says Homo erectus evolved bigger brains 1.8 million years ago because cooked food required less energy to digest, freeing calories for the brain to grow.
