Gut microbes across continents trace ancient human migration
Stanford Medicine researchers report that gut bacteria found in people across different continents mirror the routes of ancient human migration, suggesting microbes have co-evolved with human populations for tens of thousands of years. The findings indicate some intestinal microbes passed down through generations alongside their hosts, offering a new biological line of evidence about how early humans spread around the world.
Why now: A new study links the human microbiome to ancient migration patterns, an intriguing finding for science and health audiences.
