Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied tiny creatures found in our mouths (the oral microbiome) to learn how they’ve changed over time in different humans and animals.
- They looked at a mix of samples from Neanderthals, ancient humans, chimps, gorillas, and howler monkeys to see how these microbes have evolved.
- They discovered that some important mouth microbes stayed the same for millions of years, but some differences appear based on the animal or human's diet and history.
