Gut microbes across continents trace ancient human migration
Stanford Medicine researchers report that gut bacteria found in people across different continents mirror the paths of ancient human migration, suggesting microbes have co-evolved with human populations for tens of thousands of years. The findings indicate that a person's ancestry may be reflected in the composition of their intestinal microbiome, offering a new lens on human history and potential health implications.
Why now: New research from Stanford links the microbiome to ancient human migration patterns, a striking finding for science and medicine audiences.
