In a new study published in Science on September 15, 2022, a team of researchers from the Department of Microbiome Science at the Max Planck Institute for Biology systematically compared the evolutionary history of humans and their gut bacteria for the first time in individual microbiome data from Africa, Asia and Europe, and found evidence of
Previous studies have shown that a small portion of the gut bacterial lineage formed species along with hominid-ancestors, but whether this pattern of co-diversification expands in human hosts remains to be confirmed
In the new study, the team systematically compared the evolutionary history
They found that 36 (61 percent) taxa matched
The researchers said they were surprised
Subsequently, the researchers sampled
In addition, the researchers found the same results
