Moreover, we, like other plants and animals, are ourselves microbiota, complex ecological systems in constant change. We have recognized that we are made of cells, but more importantly, that our mammalian cells are outnumbered by a highly diverse community of microbes, mostly bacteria. They make our bodies operational, foster our development, and mediate our ability to interact with the environment. Another quote here, "micro-organisms mostly bacteria comprise more than half of the cells in the human body. Furthermore, challenging Western notions of stable personhood and identity defined by the inheritance of DNA, microbes provide, for roughly, 98% of our working DNA. It's like a nice summation of a lot of the things we've just talked about. Exactly.
