People have been fermenting foods for thousands of years. There are scientists who also believe fermented food plays a roll in human evolution. Until recently, people also ingested soil based probiotics regularly, but we aren't exposed to them anymore due to how clean our food is. It actually does make sense to at least supplement soil based probiotics.
