I am fascinated by this idea that Hahnemann was inerrant and all-knowing, and that everything that he had to say is applicable from generation to generation, from age to age. Please explain to me why this is good science.
Even if he were right 99 times in a row, that does not necessarily mean that a finite person with a limited lifespan is going to be right the 100th time. This sort of assumption of infallibility is called worship, not science.

Yeah, it's the opposite depending on the subject for Sheri
It is this way:
Both viruses and mammlas and other animals - all species really - occasionally steal genes from each other. Sometimes they are beneficial.
There is ONE gene (theorized to come from the virus as the virus is seen in humans- recently discovered there - and it happes to have this one gene in common with us) that humans have maybe stolen from this defective retrovirus which currently lives in humans.
The common gene codes for syncytin protein. (Did we get the gene from them or vice versa? Hard to prove.)
But there is a lot to the placental non-rejection of a fetus, and this is not a significant part, though it does help with formation of a specific type of cell as one of very many no-rejection factors.
Ah, no, not really.
Mitochoondria have been around more than 1.45 billion years, which is a lot longer than man has been around, which is measured in millions not billions, and we clesrly acquired them as part of evolution from other life forms.
There are several theories of just how mitochondria got into action in eukaryotes originally (but WIkipedia acts like theirs it valis though I n=ever saw theirs in a paper) - but mitochondria occurred in four diferent types way back before we came along. So they were there in our precursor beings. It's not like humans started without them and acquired them.
By the time we came along they were well established in ALL multicelled living forms, and we simply inherited them as part of evolution.
and so were all life forms (eukaryotes ones) billions of years ago:-)
The THEORY is that nulear and mitochidrial DNA were inherited separately.
Mitochondia only have about 12 protein coding genes among the 37 human mitochondrial genes - genes from whatever ancestor we descended from billions of years ago. There is a lot of other DNA in mitochondria however.... shared with the nucleus.
The Mitochondrial specific DNA is useful for the very reason that it originated billions of years ago and was just handed down through evolution.
You can then use it to trace back who/what species descended from what precursor species
It is extremely variable - wich akes it useful to determine relatedness - but very specific (through the maternal line.)
It's not that infective organisms were involved, it's that genes got swapped and shared here and there.
Namaste,
Irene
