Ancient human migrations carried vanishing gut microbes worldwide
Original: Prehistoric global migration of vanishing gut microbes with humans
New research in Nature shows that some gut bacteria co-migrated with prehistoric humans across the globe, meaning certain microbes have travelled with human populations for tens of thousands of years. The study suggests these ancient microbial lineages are now disappearing from people in industrialised societies, raising concerns about what is being lost as traditional lifestyles and microbiomes vanish.
Why now: A new Nature study linking the loss of ancient gut microbes to modern lifestyles has drawn attention for its implications for human health.
