> When adjusted for body mass, we burn 20% more energy per day than chimps and bonobos, 40% more than gorillas, and 60% more than orangutans, Pontzer and collea

> When adjusted for body mass, we burn 20% more energy per day than chimps and bonobos, 40% more than gorillas, and 60% more than orangutans, Pontzer and colleagues reported in Nature in 2016. Maybe we could insert select orangutan genes into human zygotes, as with Flavr Savr tomatoes, for the lower carbon footprint.
