Well, biologically speaking, we are all spam. From the tips of our fingers down to the nucleotides of our genome, and recent theories even involving our consciousness: we have viruses' abilities to be a genetic parasite to blame––or thank?
Over millions of years, retroviruses have snuck into our DNA and established themselves as part of our genome. These viral DNA sequences mutate, change, and lose their ability to break out of our cells. Some jump from here and there within our genome, and others remain stuck forever where they invaded.
And some of these viruses became incorporated in our sperm and egg cells. Being passed down from generation to generation, they are now a permanent part of our genome.
Around half of the human genome can be traced back to long dead viruses or similar "jumping genes", known as transposons. There are even some researchers claiming that this number is up to 80% due to viral sequences being degraded over millions of years to the point of no recognition.
To further emphasize this, we've all got ancient viruses in our brain. The viral gene Arc "comes to life" and produces RNA. The nerve cell then builds a capsid around the RNA that allows it to travel safely between cells. Eventually, this capsid enters another neuron cell and passes its genetic material onwards.
The functionality of Arc is still not fully understood, but those who posses atypical neural conditions have a defect in this gene.
Basically, we are viruses that work 9-5s.

Happiness is all i see now big thanks to Dr. Ubarlo from West Africa (NIGERIA), I never thought that I will live on earth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from a deadly disease herpes Virus for the past 2 years now; I had spent a lot of money going from one place to another, hospitals have been my home every day. Constant checks have been my hobby not until this blessed day, I was searching through the Internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr. Ubarlo. from West Africa (NIGERIA) helped someone in curing his herpes Virus . quickly I copied his Whatsapp Contact: +2348119508814 just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did,he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal medication, I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just contact him by Email: at drubarlohome@gmail.com whatsapp him on +2348119508814 HIS HAVE THE CURE TO THIS FOLLOWING DEADLY DISEASE [1] Ischemic heart disease [2] Cerebrovascular disease [3] Lower respiratory infections [4] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [5] Diarrhea diseases [6] Trachea, bronchus, lung cancers [7] Tuberculosis [8] Diabetes mellifluous [9] Hypertension heart disease [10] HIV/AIDS
