There is an assumtion being made, in my opinion, that some of these species are not part of the normal human integumental flora. Modern surface samples are skewed by the fact that daily bathing is a fairly recent phenomenon. Since the naval is relatively protected from the worst effects (from a bacterial perspective) of washing and UV light, we may be looking at species that show quite a long history of habitation on human hosts. This to me is the most interesting part of this research, that these bugs may have been “under our noses” all along.
