一项研究发现,与灵长类相比,现代个人卫生减少了人类腹部微生物的多样性。 A study finds modern hygiene reduces armpit microbial diversity in humans compared to primates.

北卡罗来纳州一位研究人员正在研究现代皮肤护理习惯如何影响皮肤健康,比较人类和灵长类动物的腹腔微生物。 A North Carolina researcher is studying how modern skincare habits affect skin health by comparing armpit microbiomes in humans and primates. 诸如大猩猩、黑猩猩和黑猩猩等人类和动物的口水表明,人类的微生物种类较少,很可能是由于洗澡和除臭剂的使用。 Swabs from people and animals like gorillas, chimps, and macaques show humans have less diverse microbes, likely due to bathing and deodorant use. 研究表明,过分卫生可能会扰乱有益的皮肤细菌,有可能影响健康和基于气味的行为,如选择伴侣。 The study suggests over-sanitizing may disrupt beneficial skin bacteria, potentially affecting health and scent-based behaviors like mate selection.
