There's something fishy about human brain evolution
Forget the textbook story about tool use and language sparking the dramatic
evolutionary growth of the human brain. Instead, imagine ancient hominid
children chasing frogs. Not for fun, but for food.

Are there any marine frogs? Frogs that utilize marine resources so they
become enriched in iodine?


Google says there are marine frogs. Some frogs are also extremely
poisonous, although I haven't found out yet if any of those were
available for Lucy to eat 3 mya.
