OhMayGod I do not want to alarm you, but your body is probably infected with Alien DNA

I do not want to alarm you, but your body is probably infected with Alien DNA -
How would you say that you are human? if you answered 100 percent (if you bothered to respond at all), you are unfortunately incorrect. While nearly 0 percent of your DNA is made of human material, a small percentage of it is considered "foreign."

Yes, you are foreign party, but not the kind you think. Sorry, Martian.

About 8 percent of all human DNA is made up of ancient viral fragments that lurk in the depths of the genome.

Viruses are made RNA (considered a precursor of DNA, which is more complex). They work to infect their hosts in their injecting DNA-based replicas of their own RNA.

Because the viruses have done this for thousands of years, the fact that parts of old viruses made their way into the depths of human genetics makes sense.

A recent study Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences revealed 19 new pieces of viral DNA into the human genome.

now that is the kind of creepiness I can get down with. The human body is home to so great madness.
