Tom Bunzel: If DNA is Software, Who Invented the Code

from Earth Ancients · host Cliff Dunning

In his book, If DNA is Software, Who Wrote The Code? — The Profound Significance of Life’s Programming Language, Bunzel explains that software (or computer code) has identical properties to DNA (and may be a stark example of inadvertent biomimicry).
