Agta hunter–gatherer oral microbiomes are shaped by contact network structure 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted 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–gatherers than to neighbouring farmers. We also defined the Agta social microbiome as a set of 137 oral bacteria (only 7% of 1980 amplicon sequence variants) significantly influenced by social contact (quantified through wireless sensors of short-range interactions). We show that large interaction networks including strong links between close kin, spouses and even unrelated friends can significantly predict bacterial transmission networks across Agta camps. Finally, we show that more central individuals to social networks are also bacterial supersharers. We conclude that hunter–gatherer social microbiomes are predominantly pathogenic and were shaped by evolutionary tradeoffs between extensive sociality and disease spread. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/CEX2018-000792-M info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/PID2019-110933GB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI/RTI2018-102032-B-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-sa http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/es/ 0.897 2023 Anthropology 2023 Q1 Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2023 Q1 Cultural Studies 2023 Q1 Applied Psychology 2023 Q2 4.6 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Dobon, B.
