EngagementModerate engagement
Many responses cite scientific details, such as taxonomic differences and implications for understanding human history, suggesting a moderate level of critical engagement.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions highlight the significance of the research for understanding ancestry and diet, suggesting a noteworthy influence on the field of anthropology and microbiome studies.
Abstract in brief
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.

@clark_ronn69302 @Veganella_ Do you know anything about human history? Civilization started when we learned to plant and store food.

@Frangtsv6 @DrRamonDeCangas Eso no es así, precisamente hay bastante controversia al respecto y los últimos estudios apuntan a que nuestro desarrollo cerebral fue debido a la cocción de los alimentos y a la ingesta de almidón. Aquí tienes las fuentes:
