The gut of Neanderthals
University of Bologna researchers found gut bacteria species in our gut that have been passed on from the Neanderthals. They extracted ancient DNA from 50,000-year-old faecal sediments samples of Neanderthals at the archaeological site of El Salt, near Alicante (Spain).

Researchers today know that modern influences such as processed foods, drugs, and even lifestyle has lead to a critical reduction of biodiversity in the gut microbiota.

Discovering these gut mucrobes that have existed since before humans tells us about the microbes that are essential to survival.

Bacteria often referred to as "keystone species" in both our own gut and those of Neanderthals are Blautia, Dorea, Roseburia, Ruminococcus and Faecalibacterium.
