Human digestive evolution
Introduction=
Select a topic about genetics or evolution in a specific organism or ecosystem.
The topic must include one section about microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protists). This is easy because all organisms and ecosystems have microbes.
Compose a title for your page.
Type your exact title in the Search window, then press Go. The MicrobeWiki will invite you to create a new page with this title.
Open the BIOL 116 Class 2019 template page in "edit."
Copy ALL the text from the edit window.
Then go to YOUR OWN page; edit tab. PASTE into your own page, and edit.

Section 1 Genetics
Include some current research, with at least one image.
Sample citations: [1]

A citation code consists of a hyperlinked reference within "ref" begin and end codes.
Perhaps one of the highest-impact short-term genetic digestive change has been the evolution of a Lactase-permanence gene (LCT). The separate incidences of LCT mutants that were positively selected for vary by region and ethnicity. These range in age from 8,000-9,000 years ago (European Populations) to 2,700-6,000 years ago (African Populations). [3]
Section 2 Microbiome
Include some current research, with a second image.
Conclusion
Overall text length should be at least 1,000 words (before counting references), with at least 2 images. Include at least 5 references under Reference section.
