Interesting read but yeah, you need to be a biologist. Ha.
Most of it needs to be translated before it can be understood, but I studied gibberish in school and understand a bit.
The gist is that humans, and all animals, are the product of two microbial lineages.
Sort of like lichens are a mix of two species which form one organism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LichenSo humans started as some sort of organism like a lichen and evolved, with the two original microbes creating a mitochondrial, or female, and a nuclear, or male, lineage.
The article then discusses the transfer of information between the evolved products through, for example, horizontal gene transfer.
https://www.nature.com/articles/nrg2386 The implication is that this 'transfer of information', an example of which is hgt, becomes more complex as creatures evolve, so a person's 'genetics' would be getting, and assimilating, information from simple contact with microbes, but manifesting it in a, so far, less visible way.
Any microbe a person comes into contact with would exchange 'some' genetic information, altering the dna in both sides, and a microbe which created a strong reaction in a person, e.g. a disease pathogen etc probably provides more 'information'.
There are a lot of complex implications for humans, but in general it is bullish for digitalcoin.
You got me at it’s bullish for digital coin. Lol. And I don’t believe in evolution but I took HS biology and one 200 level college biology in premed but had to drop out cause of a bad accident. So how does this help DGC? Tag each species?
