Humans are the great survivors. We are the dominant species on Earth, spreading across the globe to every corner of the Earth that is vaguely habitable.
Now we are under threat, what could possibly be a threat to this great survivor species? To answer that we have to ask what makes us so good at surviving.

Overview of the Gbiota strategy

Microbes breed in the soil, enter plants which act as natural pre and pro biotics which we eat to form our gut biota.

Beneficial microbes form our gut brain which regulates our bodies, specifically ensuring we store the right amount of fat in the right places leading to a long and healthy life span.
