Our microbiome, the population of symbiotic microorganisms that lives with us on our skin and in our guts, is an ecosystem of unimaginable proportion. Much like the vastness of the cosmos, it is doubtful that we will ever truly comprehend the sheer magnitude of its influence on our evolution, our health, and even our existence and the future of our species.
But how does our microbiome form? What shapes it and influences its composition? Like most things, there must be a beginning – a birth, so to speak.
