What I'm curious about is how if we are just two cells at one point in our life. Do all the human behaviours and inherent knowledge get transferred. Where is that information kept.
Even, uncontacted sentinel island tribes still behave very much like a human.
I asked ChatGPT ...
"the rough estimate for the data storage capacity of the human genome in bytes is approximately 6 billion bits .... or equivalently, 750 megabytes."
That doesn't seem like its enough.
- 8organicbits 3y agoIs it possible to cite a better source than ChatGpt? We have no idea if that's nonsense.
- dukeofdoom 3y agoIt did the math. I just didn't post it. Not sure if this is how DNA stories information. "The storage capacity of DNA is typically expressed in bits or bytes, as DNA can be used as a medium for data storage. Each base pair can represent 2 bits of data (since there are four possible combinations: AT, TA, CG, GC). Therefore, the human genome, with 3 billion base pairs, can theoretically store about 6 billion bits of data. To convert this into bytes, you divide the number of bits by 8 (since 8 bits make up 1 byte). So, the rough estimate for the data storage capacity of the human genome in bytes is approximately 6 billion bits 8 = 750 million bytes 8 6billion bits =750million bytes, or equivalently, 750 megabytes."
