2 SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Figure S1. Biodiversity of the gut microbiome of rural Bassa and urban-living Nigerian populations. Related to Figure 2. (A) Alpha diversity was measured according to the Shannon index. Subject groups are identified with coloured dots within boxes (orange, Bassa infants; red, Bassa adults; green, urban-living infants; olive green, urban-living adults). No significant difference among study groups was found (P-value 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). (B) Number of OTUs observed in the gut microbiota of Bassa infants (BI), urban-living infants (UI), Bassa adults (BA), and urban-living adults (UA). A significant difference was found between BI and UA (P-value=0.03, Wilcoxon ranksum test). (C-D) Beta diversity of the intestinal bacterial communities of study populations, based on Bray-Curtis distances, and respective PCoA plot. A significant separation between Bassa and urbanized Nigerians was found (adonis: P-value=1 10-4, R2=0.12; ANOSIM: P-value=0.002, R=0.21). Different letters in the bar plots (means ± SD) indicate significant differences (P-value , Kruskal-Wallis test). Same colour code as in A.

3 Figure S2. Assignment of bacterial co-abundance groups (CAGs). Related to Figure 4. (A) CAGs were defined by heat plot showing Kendall correlations between bacterial genera clustered by Spearman correlation and Ward linkage. Colours are indicative of the four identified CAGs: yellow, Faecalibacterium CAG; pink, Dialister CAG; dark blue, Roseburia CAG; light blue, Prevotella CAG. (B) Network plot showing correlations between the four identified CAGs. Circle size is proportional to the genus abundance. Connections between nodes represent positive and significant Kendall correlations between genera (Pvalue<0.05). Only bacterial genera with 0.1% of relative abundance in at least 30% of subjects were considered.

4 Figure S3. Metabolomics fingerprints of rural Bassa and urban-living Nigerians correlate with gut microbiota data. Related to Figure 6. Procrustes analysis combining Euclidean PCA of metabolic profiles (circle end of lines) with either unweighted (A) or weighted (B) UniFrac PCoA (non-circle end of lines). A significant association between the microbiota and metabolic profiles across the entire study cohort was found (for unweighted UniFrac: m12 squared=0.55, correlation value=0.67; for weighted UniFrac: m12 squared=0.78, correlation value=0.47; P-value 0.002; PROTEST).

5 Figure S4. Microbial taxa correlated with the inter and intra-group separation by metabolites. Related to Figure 6. Scatter plots of individual correlations between PC scores and taxon relative abundances. All correlations shown are significant (P-value<0.05; Kendall tau correlation test).

6 Figure S5. Metabolite profiles of rural Bassa, urban-living Nigerians, Hadza hunter-gatherers and urban-living Italians. Related to Figures 6 and 7. Relative abundance profiles of amino acids, biogenic amines, acylcarnitines, hexoses, glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, as determined through a semi-untargeted approach (based on the AbsoluteIDQ p180 Kit, BIOCRATES Life Sciences AG) in the faeces from Bassa (B) and urban (U) Nigerians (BI, Bassa infants; BA, Bassa adults; UI, urban-living infants; UA, urban-living adults) of the present study, as well as from the Hadza hunter-gatherer community (H) and urban-living Italians (I) in Turroni et al., Please refer to the main text for details.

7 A B Figure S6. Assignment of metabolic co-abundance groups (CAGs). Related to Figure 6. (A) CAGs were defined by heat plot showing Kendall correlations between faecal metabolites clustered by Spearman correlation and Ward linkage. Colours are indicative of the three identified CAGs: ivory, Hexoses CAG; brownish, Alanine CAG; purple, Threonine CAG. (B) Network plot showing correlations between the three identified CAGs. Circle size is proportional to the metabolite abundance. Connections between nodes represent positive and significant Kendall correlations between metabolites (Pvalue<0.05). Only faecal metabolites with 0.1% of relative abundance in at least 2 subjects were considered.

8 Table S1. Glossary of ingredients and foods consumed by the rural Bassa and urban Nigerians of the present study. Related to Figure 1. For ingredients, the main tubers, grains and fruit are shown, along with the plant genus. For foods, typical soups and other liquid or solid foods are listed, with a brief description. Ingredients Yam Cassava Guinea corn or durra Maize Millet Rice Banana Mango Melon or egusi Okra Foods Ayoyo Dame Eba Fufu Iyan Koko Kuka Kunu Ogi Pap Sokora Tuwo tuber, plant of the genus Dioscorea tuber, plant of the genus Manihot grain, plant of the genus Sorghum grain, plant of the genus Zea grain, plant of the genus Panicum grain, plant of the genus Oryza fruit, plant of the genus Musa fruit, plant of the genus Mangifera fruit, plant of the genus Citrullus fruit, plant of the genus Abelmoschus soup made from leaves of Corchorus olitorius, a variety of jute thick solution prepared by dissolving in water overnight-left tuwo staple food made from dried grated cassava flour staple food made from cassava pounded yam thick paste made from fermented maize, millet and sorghum soup made from powdered leaves of Adansonia digitata (baobab) fermented guinea corn drink fermented corn pap, very popular for infant feeding in Nigeria corn porridge pounded yam staple food in Northern Nigeria, prepared by adding locally milled flour to hot water and allowing solidifying
