Paleo poo shows how our gut bugs have changed over time

These tiny powerhouses perform an array of important functions that help keep us healthy, such as digesting food, producing vitamins and fending off their more harmful relatives.

Living in cleaner conditions is a double-edged sword, with many household disinfectants wiping out both bad and good bacteria. Dr Kostic and colleagues analysed eight samples of palaeofaeces — or ancient poo — that had been collected from rock shelters in the south-west US and north-west Mexico.To identify the bacteria that inhabited our ancestors' guts, the researchers used the DNA present in the faeces to reconstruct 498 microbial genomes.Of those 498 genomes, they concluded that 181 had originated in the guts of our ancestors.

They had an earlier version of Twitter on cave wall.

That vintage poo survived 1000-2000 yrs intact. It seems unfair that it’s creator never lived to see this day.

I'd like to know what any inscription would say on that 'exhibit'? 😄 'In 952 Erik the Viking did you this massive poo.'

WTF!

BLACK-MUCUS? as evidenced in INDIA from people who overcame the VIRUS .They got to be most ‘paleo-diet’ people ,not touching the meat or Beef products.

Wow. You really have run out of ideas for articles. Is t there a RW Pollie you could be bashing or making a story up about?

I’d be so proud to have pushed that one out. I’d be sharing photos of it across all social media platforms.

Well I must say. Congratulations to the innovator of this superb specimen. What a floater. Great effort!

Not to mention intestinal worms! The greatest change in the human environment in the last 100 years.

Can we compare that with a stool from Paleo Pete

Who ever laid that bog log certainly wasn’t drinking Bundy Rum

I trhought it was Friedbrains budget.

Was that photo of ScottyBlahBlah not done by his 'official' photographer? It's a nice candid portrait.

This would make a fantastic, model, how about a larger than life bronze sculpture, Domain Sydney Art Gallery. Who knew, you can polish, a turd. RNBreakfast

Is this the most ‘relatable’, kind and engaging dating show ever?Love on the Spectrum is a dating show about difference and diversity, and at the same time about the things that make us all the same.
