Human memory may be a kind of “disease,” which originally came from the invasion of an ancient virus!

With regard to our human memory ability, I believe we are all curious about why we humans can remember many complicated things, and the impressions are profound, and we will not forget even for decades. Regarding the working principle of human memory, scientists have continued to Research and exploration, but want to reveal the mystery of this, it seems really not so easy. Because the principle of human memory involves a very complicated process, almost the entire brain system is included, but the latest research of scientists believes that this kind of memory capability that we humans have is likely to be an ancient disease, and this The disease was originally caused by the invasion of ancient viruses. Does this sound particularly unbelievable?

In simple terms, that is, the fact that we humans have consciousness, it is very likely that early in a certain stage, the species was infected with an ancient virus, and this virus entered the ancient biological body and slowly It formed a part of the human genome, and then it had a very important influence on the evolution of humans and the consciousness of the brain in the later period, thus giving rise to human consciousness and memory.

So, precisely, our human conscious memory ability, and so on, should be a disease caused by a virus. Scientists speculated that this type of ancient virus cell invades human genes, which is likely to happen 400 million years ago. However, human genes that have been detected so far have merged this ancient virus with our human genes and become part of the human genome, gradually entering the arc gene.

In fact, after viruses, etc., invade the human body, they are likely to develop into a part of the human genome. This phenomenon is also often found in medicine. It seems to be nothing special, but the latest research shows that it is very likely that humans are More than half of the gene formation originated from the invasion of ancient viruses. The extremities 400 million years ago suffered an alienated ancient virus invasion, which was actually the evolution of mammals and memory, and the development of the brain was paved. The road will thus emerge our present civilization and wisdom.

Now that we have this kind of circular gene in human beings, we are constantly evolving. This has important implications for our human thinking, memory and consciousness.!

But when it comes to viral infections, everyone in the subconscious thinks that this is a very bad thing. Like now, if there is a virus that is easily infected by humans, then in general, ordinary people will want to To avoid the infection of this virus, in general, some diseases will be formed and pose a certain threat to the health of the body.

But this ancient virus, after invading the exoskeletons of the time, provided new material energy for the evolution of these animals and helped these new evolutionary substances form a new course, meaning that these ancient viruses did not threaten them. By the time the animal’s physical health and its future evolution would have contributed to the evolution of these organisms, it really sounded very interesting.

So scientists believe that perhaps we now have similar viral origins in our genes, and we are likely to have a certain heredity. We will continue to inherit them. The virus can enter our body through genetic code and can hijack. Human cells, which make more viruses, scientists have discovered a protein called Arc, which can play a decisive role in the long-term memory of humans, and it is very similar in some aspects to viruses.

This composition can regulate various forms of prominence and has a great relationship with neural development. However, the molecular function and evolutionary origin of this ingredient have so far been less understood by scientists, but researchers generally believe that It was the accidental meeting hundreds of millions of years ago that led to this element and took a central place in our memory function.

The scientists studied and observed this component carefully. After studying the protein by electron microscopy, it was found that this particular component is very similar to the way HIV retrovirus works, that is, this component is like a virus. It is because of the existence of this component that memory can be deeply stored in our brain. Without this component, memory cannot be deposited in the brain.

So scientists believe that it is this type of retrovirus that has entered the early limb animal genes that led to the development of this particular ingredient.

In short, this latest research really made us aware of human consciousness, memory, etc., as well as some unexpected things of human evolution. Evolution is not a random mutation, but the development that the organisms have used to borrow genes from each other. It looks like our current memory, as if it came from genetically modified, in other words, that is, the virus actually has a memory ability, and after entering our body, it also brought memories to our humanity. Ability, this sounds really amazing.
