Another interesting fact is that mitochondria are only inherited from your mother, and from their mother, and from their mother…. Sperm only carry DNA which ends up in the nucleus of a cell. So if you go back say 10 generations, you will have 1024 ancestors (unless there was intermarriage), but your mitochondrial DNA comes from just one of those! Just like the Y-chromosome comes from just one for men, that being your father’s father’s father’s father etc.

[@Rudol_Zeppili]

Yup, but most of the proteins in mitochondria are actually in the chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell rather than the mDNA (only the electron transport chain proteins and the ribosomes necessary to replicate the mDNA are encoded by the mDNA) so all of your ancestors contribute to the mitochondria. Things like the citric acid cycle proteins, which is necessary for the electron transport chain proteins to work, are encoded in DNA from your chromosomes

According to Dr. Nick Lane "The Vital Question" 2015, the inclusion of an ancient bacteria (that became the mitochondria) into a prokaryotic cell (that became a eukaryotic cell) occurred only one time about 2 billion years ago. Yes, you read that correctly, only one time ever on this planet. Not once like a bunch of mitochondria entered a bunch of random cells, but only one unique time did this happen. What is the statistical improbability of this?? It's mind numbing how improbable that event is AND that it took 2 billion of the 4 billion years life has existed on this earth to have occurred.

Life originates from the quantum level. The Universe is one big life creating organism. Without quantum atomic particles forming into hydrogen atoms which the Universe in turn reforms into more complex atoms which in turn the Universe combines to create complex molecules, etc. and so on, life would not exist as we observe it to exist. Maybe all just for the fun of it or absolutely no reason at all. So best to just enjoy the way too brief ride of manifested quantum consciousness.

[@wilhelmmeyer89]

This is nice and odd. Nice is the discovery for itself. Odd is that it not decades ago. When I was at school I heard about the theory/hypothesis that the cells of more advanced being like animals came into being by moulding cells of different kinds together. Some cells may have coexisted for millenia or millions of years in symbiotic relations before one of one kind got rid of of its cellular souvereignty and was integrated into a cell of the other kind. How did replication work since then? This is very interesting and exiting. And the questions that result from this discovery could lead to unexpected answer.

Yes and no. Animal cells are more like a colony of separate prokaryotic organisms living inside a much larger one that first started ingesting but not digesting them over a billion years ago. Every major organelle inside animal cells likely began as an ingested organism that led to an endosymbiotic relationship.

[@RedeyedJedi00]

It truly is banana cake, butt crack bonkers how complex human beings are on a micro scale. It comes across as counter-intuitive to attempt any reconciliation between quantum mechanics and free will / self actualization. From individual particles, atoms and cells... To hormones, neurons and electric signals... To DNA, memory, chemistry and the brain in general. Trillions of individual moving parts all in blind synchronicity while separately focused on following their own individual respective purposes. Each with no concept of a bigger picture, the picture being us. I try to imagine how these trillions of particles all randomly colliding and interacting with each other do not result in chaos like people on a huge dance floor all bumping into one another, but instead somehow formulate a magical symphony with each one taking into account the actions and timing of all the others... but even the most clever and inventive imagination cannot paint a picture or even a sketch of this escapade. Life is so inconceivably short, insignificant, spectacular and precious. And as complex as it may seem through our personal perspective of reality, we are simply a combination of atoms. 7 billion billion billion atoms per human to be more precise (a 7 followed by 27 zeros.) A carefully crafted collection of StarDust, molded under near perfect conditions. Every living thing on earth is at this very moment rotating roughly 1,000 mph while simultaneously making a trip around the sun at 67,000 mph. The galaxy is rotating at 130 miles per second while hurtling through the universe at 1.3 million miles every hour. As far as we know, every breath and every death has occurred on this giant 4.5 billion yr old rock called Earth- 1 of 100 billion planets in the Milky Way, with the Milky Way being 1 of 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe... That adds up to over 700 quintillion planets, (7 billion trillions.) This magnificent universe began approximately 13.6 billion yrs ago- An incomprehensible amount of time within which 99% of all earthly species that have ever existed on this rock have been wiped from the surface throughout history during several different extinction level events. These catastrophes of mere chance, while unfortunate for those species that met their demise, was instrumental in the creation of us- human beings capable of conscious thought, contemplating the existence of ourselves as well as the universe, further evolving the capacity for self awareness and innovations such as language, philosophy and science, as well as emotions such as joy, compassion and love... So it seems that even death contributes to the evolution of life. Just as the first stars died, providing the essential ingredients needed to give birth to even more stars. Stars that absorbed and collected nearby matter in order to surround themselves with planets, moons, gas and dust to form the possibly infinite number of celestial carousels- including 1 lucky green and blue ball we call home. Our species (Homo Sapien) has only been around for roughly 300,000 yrs. Compared to the universe (13.6 billion yrs) our species has only been around for 0.000022% of all time and existence... Within that 300,000 yrs, each human life is lucky if they live to be 100 yrs old, meaning your life will represent 0.00033% of that original 300,000 yrs... Stack that 0.00033% next to the age of the universe again and the length of your life is roughly .000000000055% of the 13.6 billion yrs of all time and existence. You and I are an incomprehensible spec on the historical wheel of time. The universe basically thinks less of you than you do of a single breath in a lifetime of breathing, the same way you think of a single atom… In other words, the universe doesn't think of you at all. You and I barely exist. The universe was here long before you, and will be around long after, forgetting you were ever here. 200 yrs from now, you would be lucky if even a single person knew your name, let alone what you did or what you were like. If you have the courage, take a long hard look in the mirror, then close your eyes and imagine your last moments of life. If you are lucky, at the end of your life (a day that is relatively soon,) you will be given the chance to look back on how you spent the non existent blip of time you were alive on this temporary rock, before you yourself are a distant memory and subsequently forgotten entirely. Will you be satisfied and thankful for the choices you made in your brief life? Will you think, "I made the most of my time and enjoyed it being kind, brave, honest, loving, and most of all, I spent it being happy?" Or did you spend it being jealous, irrational, narcissistic, bitter, hurtful, hateful, dishonest, anxious, afraid, weak, lazy, sad, and angry? Because these attitudes will buy you absolutely nothing but an empty void of misery and regret in the end. A collection of missed opportunities with no quarter to pop in the slot for another try. Personally, I want to spend my time with honest, kind, funny, loving, rational, moral, non judgmental people. I want to spend it smiling, laughing, dancing, singing, having a ton of sex and fun, experiencing as much happiness as possible. Being wise is realizing certainty is an imaginary concept. It is an impossibility that is harmful to the progress of human beings. Being certain is to be a fool. Realize you will never stop growing, knowing more tomorrow than you did today. There will always be someone else who knows something you do not. There is no such thing as a complete or perfect human being. Even in death, none of us will have all the answers we seek. All knowledge and truth as well as your existence and reality itself is relative to one's own perspective. Your white could be my black. Your up might be my down. And my right may be your wrong. The laws of nature dictate that there is no way to know anything for certain. So the only sure bet in my opinion is too enjoy your version of happiness while it lasts. I will always bet on happiness. I would rather be incorrect and happy, than correct and unhappy any day of the week. ☮️💚🤝😉✌️

This is VERY poorly done. Read any of Nick Lane books. “Something else” is archea. A third major branch of life.
