Ancient human migrations shaped today's vanishing gut microbes

Original: Prehistoric global migration of vanishing gut microbes with humans

New research reported by Nature traces how gut microbes migrated across the globe alongside prehistoric human populations, suggesting some gut bacteria lineages co-evolved with humans over tens of thousands of years. The findings may help explain why industrialised populations are losing microbial diversity, as strains tied to ancestral human lineages vanish from modern guts.

Why now: Fresh research linking human migration history to declining gut microbe diversity has drawn scientific and public interest
