There are research groups that have largely given up on finding ideal microbiomes in modern society, and have thus resorted to visiting remote tribes, such as the Hadza [1][2].
If I remember right Bruce Sterling wrote in 1998 in his sci-fi novel Distraction about how when a frozen body was found, there was an immediate commercial interest to sequence the gut microbiome. It’s interesting how our world evolves into that future ;)
