also, 37mb? the human genome is about 750Mb of distinct code in the human 43 chromasomes, there's no way that sperm only contains 37.5Mb, should be at least 200-300Mb if you consider the Y

i guess maybe that's the thing, sperm cells probably just snip up the whole stack randomly and share it out to the wrigglers, but i can't believe that so little code is contributed by the male, that just doesn't make any sense, it should be half, or at least 1/8th less than half because XY vs XX

I mean, aren’t we like 97,8% same genes as Bananas or something like that?

Preston recently did a podcast on information theory, super interesting.

The point that stuck out to me was the fact that information is “the surprises in a message”. Surprises meaning “unexpected changes”.
