The different microbiomes of Indigenous African peoples
The different microbiomes of Indigenous African peoples
This article highlights a research paper examining the difference between American gut biomes and those of two populations in central Africa. They find there are huge variations within each group, and when groups are paired together. Students can read this article and examine the implications of such research on the field of microbiology.
Guiding questions:
Would these findings impact how we medically treat different people?
What could be some potential reasons for these gut biome differences? Would these differences have any impact on how people live?
