The authors also share evidence that the human immune system is still evolving depending on a person's location or lifestyle. "In the past, people's lifespans were much shorter, so some of these inflammatory and autoimmune diseases that can appear in the second half of life were not so relevant," says first author Jorge Dominguez-Andres (@dominjor), a postdoctoral researcher at Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Science in the Netherlands.
