The search for the 'self' has always been difficult. We spend our lives trying to find ourselves, to discover who we are inside. Noted psychiatrist, Sigmund Freud, had us narrowed down into three categories: the Id, the Ego, and the Superego. Descartes believed that "I think, therefore I am". But as our concept of the human mind and body continues to change, there is a new way to look at who we really are (at least biologically). That is; we are 99.5% bacteria, and only 0.5% human DNA.

They also discuss the following:

• Different kinds of bacteria that can be found within the human body
• Why the microbiome is one of the most important parts of our body
