The Cosmic Summit | The Octopus Genome: Clues to Life Beyond Earth? @cosmicsummit | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The octopus genome is truly remarkable, with around 50,000 genes, almost double that of humans, who have approximately 25,000. This raises intriguing questions about the complexity of the octopus, which in some ways appears to exceed our own. How did this genetic diversity come about? Some evidence suggests a connection to the cosmos, pointing to the possibility that life's building blocks or influences may have originated beyond Earth. Could the octopus provide clues to understanding our relationship with the greater universe?
