Sorry I was not meaning to be as snarky as that came off. I’m an avid backpacker and have been in situations where I had to drink unfiltered stream water - while I know it’s possible to do so and not suffer ill effects, there are also a ton of super bad effects, and our bodies are far removed from the environment we evolved in 100k+ years ago. I don’t know the research on this but I’d wager our gut biome is much different than it was a million years ago as well.
