Well done! MD for 30 years, Molecular Biology undergrad. Though this has been known since the 1980s, I remember Retroviruses being a significant part of the Human DNA, also Transposons, learned this as an undergrad. Transposons were discovered in 1983.

@@treyweaver5396 Even if we don't know basic chemistry, it's still graspable. I wasn't taught any basic chemistry in highschool, but I still had to memorize the "base pairs" of the double helix. If they had bothered to show me a visual representation and an explanation of the chemistry behind it, I could have grasped it well enough. And I probably would have been inspired to pursue chemistry in college. But at the time, it was just a bunch of jargon to memorize. Adenine, guanine, etc. I dunno. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather be intrigued by something just beyond my scope of understanding than bored by rote memorisation exercises. This applies to chemistry, especially. I fell in love with the subject as soon as I learned how to draw molecules. I can memorize the way a molecule LOOKS and then deduce the chemical formula alot more easily than memorizing some meaningless chemical formula and associating it with some molecular name. I kinda' lost my train of thought. My point is that it wouldn't have been difficult to inspire me. But public education still failed to do that. I hope things are better for future generations.

It's true that a little dirt will do you good. A study here in NZ on kids from farms and kids from cities found that allergies were much higher in city kids. So, when my kids were little I let them play in the mud, I didn't sanitize every surface in my house and let them touch "dirty" things, like playground equipment that I hadn't cleaned (yes, I've seen it happen).

My kids were born in 2001, and I got some weird looks when I let them out to play in the fenced yard at 3 without sitting on the step watching them. To be clear, it was well fenced, everyone knew the twins, and of course there were two of them. I cleaned with soap and water, only using strong stuff on loos and such. They got muddy, watched bugs and birds and generally had a great time. I never worried about germs, unless what they picked up was truly gross (a dead bird comes to mind). We just washed hands well before eating and gave them a good bath every night. They lived to tell the tale, and apart from a lactose issue neither have serious allergies.

Without virusses, mammals would still lay eggs: The protein syncytin, which is essential for formation of the placenta, originally came to the genome of our ancestors, and those of other mammals, via a retrovirus infection. Placental structures have also developed in non-mammalian vertebrates. The first placenta-like structures probably arose in egg-laying vertebrates, around 400 million years ago in fish, 150 million years ago in mammals, and 25 million years ago in Mabuya lizards. It seems likely that these events took place after retrovirus infection followed by capture of env genes, which allowed fusion of cells in the placenta. This repurposing of a retroviral gene occurred randomly and rarely in evolution, but it clearly imposed an advantage, as placental-mediated live birthing has endured.

They have helped drive evolution, and continue to do so due to their own inability to moderate genetic variance between generations.

You have a Vitamin D3 deficiency. Viruses only sicken those who are deficient. You should have a RED CELL BLOOD TEST to check your levels if you wish. White cell blood tests do not give you the true results. You need to go outside more because the human body manufactures Vitamin D3 from the sunlight entering the body. If that isn't feasible, eat a large piece of Wild Sockeye Salmon every week or have sardine sandwiches throughout the week. Both Wild Sockeye Salmon and sardines are full of Vitamin D3. Trust me, it works very well.

While you were discussing this, a thought came to mind. The indigenous north american peoples had no immunity to the europeans when they were first arrived. Diseases that were pretty well harmless in Europe, killed those indigenous peoples by the thousands due to never having had those diseases. That in itself shows the end result if we try or attempt to try. Heck even cleanrooms or plastic bubbles wouldn't help.

​@@LophiusAiam In all honesty, reading back my comment I do see how it might sound woke. There's actually a very non-woke SF book debating the same question (Speaker for the Dead - Orson Scott Card). We can't make our minds up whether viruses are alive or not, but let's take a different example, to put things into perspective: what if someone decided that all fungi should be wiped out. We are not talking about the population on a continent, nor a species, nor a genus but . As with the viruses, it would only save lives in the short run and damn the whole planet for the long run. I think it a moral conundrum, even if only for the magnitude of the act of ending so much life. But anyway, I see your point, I hope you might see mine too.

Not watched it yet - but did you consider "transposons"? Those are not even viruses... rogue DNA sequences. They still move around genome, by cutting and pasting, sometimes messing up a working gene in the process. In fact - I find hypermutation regions of B cell genome the most interesting, the sequences are randomised without even cell dividing, it happens in the actual living cell. It is allowed to randomise portion of its genome to produce novel parts of an antibody.
