Five fundamental biological questions that underlie the Human Microbiome Project. Initially, answers are phenomenologic but ultimately must be understood in the context of evolutionary processes. Along the way, myriad applications will be discovered. The red leg represents about 1/10 of the human body, symbolizing 10¹³ human cells in a host with 10¹⁴ microbial cells (10).
