Scientists discover 662 new microbes - in 95 belly buttons

I definitely recognize some of those samples from recent ad hoc probing of "what the heck is in there?"

Belly buttons can be sexy, but they can also be prime real estate for bacterial colonies. The bacteria represents important advances in divergent evolution.

Cleaning habits ??? or lack thereof ??? have made amazing discoveries possible. As few people wash their belly buttons with soap, the chance for microbial growth increases. Hulcr suggests there may be links between belly button bacteria and microbes that have previously only been found on the deep ocean floor. This opens entirely new avenues of inquiry within the study of divergent evolution, the ac

We lose a thousand species a day, many mircrobial, the rest being plants, animals and insects, fishes, fowl and whatever, with similar amounts being newly evolved, perhaps at an ever greater rate.
Belly button (bb)diversity only further suggests that the Darwin Tree of Life's trunk is short and stout, with unimaginable cross-fertilization occuring at the ends of broad disparate branches which touch, exchange and combine in ways we are just beginning to discover.
One could surely ask where the bb diversity originates, inside or outside the body, or from both.
As larger sample bases are developed might we find useful drugs, genetic modifications that could prove useful as well?
I always knew there was a reason to save the lint!

Well done! Thank you very much for professional templates and community edition
