Reconstructing the ancestral human microbiome
The newly appreciated importance of the
human microbiome raises questions as to its origin,
evolution, and ecology. The application of advanced genomic
and proteomic sequencing technologies to ancient human
microbiota preserved in dental calculus (calcified plaque)
and coprolites (paleofeces) allows us to advance
understanding of the evolutionary history of our microbial
self and its impact on human health today.
