Agta hunter–gatherer oral microbiomes are shaped by contact network structure

open access: yesEvolutionary Human Sciences, 2023
Here we investigate the effects of extensive sociality and mobility on the oral microbiome of 138 Agta hunter–gatherers from the Philippines. Our comparisons of microbiome composition showed that the Agta are more similar to Central African BaYaka hunter–
