The drunken monkey: evolutionary origins of attraction to alcohol in primate frugivory
Ethanol derives from the fermentation of simple sugars, and fermentative yeasts are common within terrestrial ecosystems. Animals that routinely consume sugar-rich fruits and nectars thus chronically ingest low-level ethanol. The capacity to detect and follow ethanol plumes enables localization...
