Primate thumbs and brains evolved hand-in-hand

By University of Reading Tue, Aug 26, 2025


University of Reading - Longer thumbs mean bigger brains, scientists have found − revealing how human hands and minds evolved together. Researchers studied 94 different primate species, including fossils and living animals, to understand how our ancestors developed their abilities. They found that species with relatively longer thumbs, which help with gripping small objects precisely, consistently had larger brains. The research, published today (Tuesday, 26 August) in Communications Biology, provides the first direct evidence that manual dexterity and brain evolution are connected across the entire primate lineage, from lemurs to humans. Humans and our extinct relatives boast both extraordinarily long thumbs and exceptionally large brains. However, the link remains strong across all primates: when scientists removed human data from their analysis, the connection between thumb length and brain size remained. 


Dr Joanna Baker, lead author from the University of Reading, said: "We've always known that our big brains and nimble fingers set us apart, but now we can see they didn't evolve separately. As our ancestors got better at picking up and manipulating objects, their brains had to grow to handle these new skills. These abilities have been fine-tuned through millions of years of brain evolution." 


Thumbs linked to thinking, not movement


The scientists made a surprising discovery about which part of the brain grows alongside longer thumbs. They expected longer thumbs to be linked to the cerebellum because it is the region of the brain that controls movement and coordination. Instead, longer thumbs were connected to the neocortex (a complex layered region comprising approximately half the volume of the human brain), which processes sensory information and handles cognition and consciousness. 


It was a surprise that only one of the two major brain regions they thought would be involved actually was. The findings suggest that as primates developed better manual skills for handling objects, their brains had to grow to process and use these new abilities effectively − but further work is needed to establish exactly how the neocortex supports manipulative abilities.

The researchers excluded human data to test whether the correlation persisted. What does this methodological choice suggest?

Brattleboro archeology project adds to historical narrative of mill workers

BRATTLEBORO — Archeology along the recently restored floodplain on Birge Street helps illustrate the rich industrial history of Brattleboro.

"This research conducted has proven to be a valuable dataset that contributes, in many ways, to shaping the historical narrative of mill workers in Vermont," said Danielle Duguid, project manager and principal investigator with Hartgen Archeological Associates. "Most importantly, it's added direct ties to the families who toiled and prospered living in the lumber yard of the Holden & Martin sawmill."

In a virtual event Thursday, Duguid presented information about her group's discoveries. Hartgen was hired for archeological work of the floodplain restoration project now known as Kikitta Ahki, with funding from the town, Vermont River Conservancy and Vermont Emergency Management. The Brattleboro Historical Society provided information.

Duguid said the archeological site was initially identified during test excavations in 2018 during archeological permitting for the floodplain restoration project.

"The plans for the larger project involve removing many feet of modern and historic fill across the 12 acres of the floodplain to allow natural flooding of the area and prevent catastrophic flooding from overflowing into the rest of downtown Brattleboro, which had occurred in 2011 following Hurricane Irene," she said. "Large scale archeological excavations and research are conducted to preserve as much of the information as possible before the site gets destroyed by the planned development or construction. The information and knowledge that's gained from this effort is then gathered into a large report, discussed with community and given to museums to preserve the history for future generations."

Duguid said indigenous peoples began to set up permanent settlements and built villages in the study area. Her group found a few small fragments of stone tools they used.

Brooks traveling the Connecticut River "provided ease of transportation and more importantly hydropower for the 18th and 19th century settlers along the Whetstone Brook," Duguid said.

"Dozens of saw mills, woolen factories, tanneries and other water powered industries began to pop up during the 18th and 19th century," she said. "Subsequent mill operations ran adjacent to the study area from the 1830s to the 1960s as well as in many more other locations."

John Birge, who the street was named for, constructed a woolen mill in 1838. It changed hands over the years.

In the 19th century, David and Catherine Leahy bought 8 acres of the meadow right next to a mill to build their home. The Irish immigrant couple ended up splitting up, and their land and house were sold to the up-and-coming Holden & Martin Milling Company in 1904. The home housed families employed at the mill.

"With a reputation of investing in their employees," Duguid said of Holden & Martin, "they applauded themselves on providing reasonable priced worker housing throughout Brattleboro, utilizing a rent-to-own model for any of their housing and never defaulting on a loan."

Duguid counted a total of 5,968 architectural artifacts found by her group during excavations. They included wooden beams, slate shingles, window glass, nails, hardware and bricks. These materials "vastly outnumbered the domestic and personal assemblages," Duguid said.

A total of 4,300 nails were catalogued. They're "actually particularly useful for historic archeologists as the shapes and sizes are diagnostic," Duguid said.

Slate discovered by her group was "definitely local to the area," Duguid said. They made the determination based off its color.

"Faunal remains were found throughout the site as well, helping archeologists understand what the families at the Leahy home were consuming," she said. "Through looking at the bones, researchers can determine the species and also examine cut marks and butcher marks for information about how animals were processed."

Duguid said bones from cattle, pig, sheep, goat and horse bones were identified in the approximately 300 final remains analyzed.

Personal items discovered included tobacco pipe stems, leather shoes, children's toys, burnt vinyl records and a rosary. Duguid suggested the large number of toys at the site may indicate they were used to distract families from the dangers of the nearby mill.

The information and knowledge that's gained from this effort is then gathered into a large report, discussed with community and given to museums to preserve the history for future generations."

Duguid said indigenous peoples began to set up permanent settlements and built villages in the study area. Her group found a few small fragments of stone tools they used.

Brooks traveling the Connecticut River "provided ease of transportation and more importantly hydropower for the 18th and 19th century settlers along the Whetstone Brook," Duguid said.

"Dozens of saw mills, woolen factories, tanneries and other water powered industries began to pop up during the 18th and 19th century," she said. "Subsequent mill operations ran adjacent to the study area from the 1830s to the 1960s as well as in many more other locations."

John Birge, who the street was named for, constructed a woolen mill in 1838. It changed hands over the years.

In the 19th century, David and Catherine Leahy bought 8 acres of the meadow right next to a mill to build their home. The Irish immigrant couple ended up splitting up, and their land and house were sold to the up-and-coming Holden & Martin Milling Company in 1904. The home housed families employed at the mill.

"With a reputation of investing in their employees," Duguid said of Holden & Martin, "they applauded themselves on providing reasonable priced worker housing throughout Brattleboro, utilizing a rent-to-own model for any of their housing and never defaulting on a loan."

Duguid counted a total of 5,968 architectural artifacts found by her group during excavations. They included wooden beams, slate shingles, window glass, nails, hardware and bricks. These materials "vastly outnumbered the domestic and personal assemblages," Duguid said.

A total of 4,300 nails were catalogued. They're "actually particularly useful for historic archeologists as the shapes and sizes are diagnostic," Duguid said.

Slate discovered by her group was "definitely local to the area," Duguid said. They made the determination based off its color.

"Faunal remains were found throughout the site as well, helping archeologists understand what the families at the Leahy home were consuming," she said. "Through looking at the bones, researchers can determine the species and also examine cut marks and butcher marks for information about how animals were processed."

Duguid said bones from cattle, pig, sheep, goat and horse bones were identified in the approximately 300 final remains analyzed.

Personal items discovered included tobacco pipe stems, leather shoes, children's toys, burnt vinyl records and a rosary. Duguid suggested the large number of toys at the site may indicate they were used to distract families from the dangers of the nearby mill.

Brattleboro archeology project adds to historical narrative of mill workers

BRATTLEBORO — Archeology along the recently restored floodplain on Birge Street helps illustrate the rich industrial history of Brattleboro.

"This research conducted has proven to be a valuable dataset that contributes, in many ways, to shaping the historical narrative of mill workers in Vermont," said Danielle Duguid, project manager and principal investigator with Hartgen Archeological Associates. "Most importantly, it's added direct ties to the families who toiled and prospered living in the lumber yard of the Holden & Martin sawmill."

In a virtual event Thursday, Duguid presented information about her group's discoveries. Hartgen was hired for archeological work of the floodplain restoration project now known as Kikitta Ahki, with funding from the town, Vermont River Conservancy and Vermont Emergency Management. The Brattleboro Historical Society provided information.

Duguid said the archeological site was initially identified during test excavations in 2018 during archeological permitting for the floodplain restoration project.

"The plans for the larger project involve removing many feet of modern and historic fill across the 12 acres of the floodplain to allow natural flooding of the area and prevent catastrophic flooding from overflowing into the rest of downtown Brattleboro, which had occurred in 2011 following Hurricane Irene," she said. "Large scale archeological excavations and research are conducted to preserve as much of the information as possible before the site gets destroyed by the planned development or construction.

LOVE BOMB


Do you fall in love hard and fast? Three signs you're an emophiliac − & five ways to break the destructive lust cycle


 If this happens often, you may have emophilia, AKA a tendency to fall in love quickly and with just about anyone.


And experts warn it can have a negative impact on mental health, leaving people vulnerable and trapped in toxic relationships, or see them darting from one relationship to the next, constantly chasing the thrill of early attraction or that feeling of falling in love.


"When you first fall for someone, you get that rush of the feel-good hormone, serotonin," says Sarah Louise Ryan, dating and relationship expert, matchmaker and psychotherapist.


"This phase of romantic love is really the rose-tinted glasses phase. You are falling for the newness of these just-discovered feelings, just as much as you're falling for the actual person. This is because new and different people bring out different parts of us." 


There's nothing wrong with these emotions, though they do simmer down as we build a relationship.


"In reality, when that spark fades, that is when the real relationship begins," says Sarah.


"But those with emophilia don't ever want that feeling to fizzle out, which can lead them into a volatile position romantically. They either never fully commit and move on to the next partner, or they date multiple people to discover who they have the biggest spark with, all in search of the rush."


The emotional fallout from this pattern can be huge.


The good news is it's possible to stop and change your thinking and actions.


Love At First Sight?


But whatever happened to "love at first sight", you might wonder?


Genuine love at first sight is an instant attraction to someone you might share common values with, find intriguing and are physically attracted to.


It can be with someone who feels safe and calm.


But emophilia is falling in love with the feeling of lust, attention, validation and connection, rather than the person.


"That need for attachment can be intoxicating, but it's important to get to know the person you've fallen for on a deeper level," Sarah says.


"You will feel anxiety when you're not getting that serotonin burst, but if you follow these steps before becoming emotionally attached so quickly, you'll feel better."


When Emophilia Becomes a Problem


 At a time when the dating world feels dire and "true love" is hard to find, is it really all that bad if someone is so open to connection?


The issue is that when emophiliacs fall, they tend not to question the relationship's long-term goals, values or red flags.


This can make them either more likely to jump ship or get stuck in a relationship that was doomed from the start.


"Falling for risky partners may seem appealing, but it can be dangerous when their aim is manipulation and destruction," explains Sarah.


"People with emophilia can be attracted to narcissists, who may lovebomb a new partner by showing excessive amounts of affection and attention. This would be ideal for a person with emophilia. Because they think they're in love, emophiliacs are likely to overlook warnings or advice, even from trusted family and friends. However, when red flags aren't addressed, over time they can become more problematic."


Why Do you Fall so Hard?


Though the exact cause of emophilia is unknown, there are several possible theories.


"It is thought that low serotonin levels in the brain may contribute," says Sarah.


Serotonin is also implicated in conditions including depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).


Some people may also be hypersensitive to oxytocin," adds Sarah.


Also known as the love hormone, oxytocin creates feelings of trust and a desire to care.


Falling in love quickly is also a shared experience of people with ADHD, which may be linked with the disorder's symptoms of impulsivity.


But it may just be a personality trait.


For some, there is excitement to be found in the chaos, and boredom in the monotony.


FIVE WAYS TO BREAK UP WITH EMOPHILIA


Overcoming the need to chase the rush of falling for someone isn't easy, as many of our relationship desires are ingrained.


"I would ask an emophiliac: 'Is it working for you?'", Sarah says.


"If the answer is yes, and you're happy flitting from one relationship to another, keep doing what you are doing. If the answer is no, I'd recommend these tips."


1. Go Cold Turkey


If you are a serial dater, go cold turkey − including no sex or romantic relations − to focus on yourself.


Discover the qualities you like in yourself and note the ways in which you are capable without having a significant other.


Then, pick up conscious dating when the time is right.


"When you find the confidence to make the right choices, you will no longer let your drive for a feeling choose for you," says Sarah.


"It will be hard work, but worth it."


2. Spot The Red Flags


Some red flags are universal.


For example, a lack of respect or signs of attempting to control another person.


However, others will be more specific to you.


For example, how do you feel about their financial situation, living arrangements, family set-up or beliefs?


It's easy for a friend to say: "That's a red flag", but ask yourself if it really is for you.


Write down your deal-breakers, then ensure when connecting with someone that you ask the questions that will unveil these warning signs.


3. Note What Hasn't Worked


Sit back and really think about the patterns you have fallen into with each romantic partner.


What happened? Where did it go wrong? Self-awareness is important in the decision-making process.


If necessary, write out an action plan for the next time someone catches your attention.


4. Listen To Friends


You may get so caught up in the rush of a new partner that you forget the concerns of those closest to you.


Take time to speak to a family member or friend who knows you well and has historically given you honest advice.


Run through any worries or ask for feedback on new partners.


Your friends don't have to love or even like your partner, but if they have concerns about them, it's worth hearing them.


This can be a failing for people with emophilia, who can only see the positives of a new crush.


5. Consult A Therapist


Therapists or counsellors can help you to understand and manage emophilia.


"Therapists help bring you into the here and now and find internal validation, rather than seeking external validation from others," says Sarah.


"That means that those with emophilia can consciously connect with themselves and with others when dating."
