This is a fascinating expansion of the research on the effects of the micro
biome, the microbes that live in our bodies, from biochemistry and
physiology to behavior. Send me an email for a copy.

Human bodies house trillions of symbiotic microorganisms. The genes in this
human microbiome outnumber human genes by 100 to 1, and their study is
providing profound insights into human health. But humans are not the only
animals with microbiomes, and microbiomes do not just impact health. Recent
research is revealing surprising roles for microbiomes in shaping behaviors
across many animal taxashedding light on how behaviors from diet to social
interactions affect the composition of host-associated microbial
communities (*1*, *2*), and how microbes in turn influence host behavior in
dramatic ways (*2**6*).
