Vanishing gut microbes traced to prehistoric human migration
Original: Prehistoric global migration of vanishing gut microbes with humans
A Nature study reports that some gut bacteria co-migrated with humans during prehistoric global dispersal, evolving alongside their hosts. Strains of these microbes split in parallel with human populations, and many now appear to be disappearing from people in industrialised countries. Researchers say the findings link microbial diversity to human ancestry and raise concerns about losing ancient bacterial lineages as lifestyles modernise.
Why now: Fresh publication in Nature linking gut microbiome diversity to human migration history and its modern decline
