    Because a different planet would induce different assemblies of life. DNA is not a universal building block. It is specific to Earth.

    Have you looked at the sequencing results? All it shows is that whatever they tested was human. Where is the publication expounding on this other 30% of unknown genetic material?

      It’s a huge story that is constantly updating. Initial rumors are saying the dna is reptilian however multiple United States institutions are verifying. It’s not out yet. Just hold your horses.

        …What the fuck is a reptilian? In the biological sense.

        You’re posting this drivel as if it’s truth without any actual evidence. You’re not scrutinizing what’s coming out of this because you desperately want this to be real.

          A reptilian contains reptile DNA. Humans don’t have the same DNA entirely as reptilians.

            Please cite your sources for this. I’ve never heard of a ‘reptilian’ species ever being discussed, documented, or researched in earnest throughout any scientific field.

              From a scientific perspective the DNA matches the reptile dna of a lizard, however the 30% unknown is probably the the DNA strands needed to make an upright figure which is why the combinations are new. Unless you’ve seen a reptilian DNA structure mapped out before the DNA sequence is not going to be mapped anywhere.
