Weaker gag, bigger brain
A mutation caused the human gag muscles to weaken, causing an increase in human intelligence.
The mutation occurred about 2.4 million years ago. Consequently, the man's ancestor stopped producing a MYH16 protein that was involved in the formation of the gag muscle.
This caused the loss of muscle, the decrease of the jaw, which caused the growth of the skull, which allowed the brain to grow.
