- Humans and great apes lack functional uricase, contributing to higher uric acid than many mammals. — Uric Acid as a Metabolic Signal
- Uricase loss is presented as adaptive under scarcity because it helped primates conserve energy and maintain fuel availability. — Uric Acid as a Metabolic Signal
- The modern environment chronically activates pathways adapted for intermittent scarcity and seasonal food exposure. — Uric Acid as a Metabolic Signal
- Seasonal eating is argued to make evolutionary sense only when paired with broader seasonal constraints such as fasting and darkness-aligned sleep. — Uric Acid as a Metabolic Signal
