Turns out, our ancestors were basically living with bugs nonstop—from oral bacteria in Ice Age Siberia to plague DNA in Viking skulls. Farming and hanging out with animals brought a wave of new diseases, and some of the genes that helped us survive back then now mess with our immune systems today. Our DNA is basically a diary of every nasty bug we’ve ever met! #Science #AncientDNA #HumanHistory768Share
