- Hello Mr. Brecka! I watched the podcast where you were a guest with Mr. Ryan. It was a phenomenal podcast with excellent topics—I was truly impressed! I am a medical student who wants to follow your path and do what you do. You have inspired me like no one ever has! Here’s my question: You mentioned that our DNA material is actually 60% human and 40% viral. Do you have any texts that could explain this to me? In several books I’ve read, it is stated that our genome consists of 85% human genes and 15% genes from our gut microbiome. I’m a bit confused. Also, what does the presence of viral DNA mean for us? How did it come to make up such a large percentage of our genome? Thank you in advance for your response, and sending best regards from Croatia!
