Only about 1% (i.e., about 30,000) of the prokaryote genomes have been deciphered.
For most of human evolution, diets were based on raw and unprocessed foods. The microorganisms associated with unprocessed foods were largely adventitious and originated from plant, animal, and environmental sources. With the transition from hunter-gatherer to more settled communities, about 10,000 - 20,000 y ago, fermented foods containing large and diverse populations of [microbes…
