The Last MICROBES - How Modern Life Broke a 100 000 - Year Symbiosis | Boring Sapiens

Описание: Inside you lives an ancient civilization - invisible, restless, and older than humanity itself. For nearly one hundred thousand years, microbes evolved with us: digesting our food, shaping our immunity, influencing our moods, and even deciding who survived the winters. But in the past few centuries, that partnership began to fracture.
This episode travels far beyond the microscope, following the deep-time story of microbial - animal cooperation - from the first bacteria that oxygenated the oceans nearly four billion years ago, through the first guts of the Cambrian seas, to the soil microbes that built our fields, and finally to the quiet extinction now unfolding inside modern bodies.
We trace how sterilization, antibiotics, and processed diets have broken a hundred-thousand-year alliance - and ask whether humanity can rebuild it. Are we engineering our way back to an ancient intimacy we once took for granted? If you’re awake at night wondering how much of you is still alive in the biological sense - this story is for you.

🕯️ The story of humanity… told softly.
