Ancient gut microbiomes might be clue to modern diseases

Our diets (and possibly our gut microbiome) really do determine much of our health. Medicine is only beginning to discover the importance of our microbiomes (gut and skin).

Scientists have found dramatic differences between gut microbiomes from ancient North American peoples and modern microbiomes, offering new evidence on how these microbes may evolve with different diets. A bacteria known as Treponema succinifaciens "is not in a single Western microbiome that we analyzed, but it's in every single one of the eight ancient microbiomes," Kostic says. The ancient microbiomes did match up more closely with modern non-industry microbiomes.
