Reply to comment by GoGaslightYerself in TIL that after scientists sequenced the genome of a tiger they found that it shares 95.6% of its DNA with the domestic cat, from which it diverged 10.8 million years ago. by countdookee
I always wonder if that junk DNA would do something if we still consumed for example, the Pleistocene megafauna. Like maybe if we ate paraceratherium liver our cells would have the molecular building blocks for our DNA make proteins we no longer have. What kind of organs and capabilities are locked up in that DNA that we can no longer access because we don’t have the raw inputs to make the code useful?
