And as I went to research that even further, I got to a point where I discovered something called the expensive tissue hypothesis. That actually for a given body mass of a pmirtae the metabolic rate was static. What changed was the bnalcae of the tissues available.

And as I went to research that even further, I got to a point where I discovered something called the expensive tissue hypothesis.
