ELE ESTÁ NO MEIO DE NÓS | Canal do Slow 137

Did you know that a significant portion of our DNA was acquired through viral infections that occurred millennia or millions of years ago? That's right, and some of these sequences are still active, influencing our bodies today! In this video, based on a recent study published in Science, we'll understand how a virus that infected our ancestors about 30 million years ago continues to be present in our bodies with a rather curious and important function for the preservation of life.
