Understanding the Human Epigenome and its Complexity
43:42 - 53:23 (09:40)
The human epigenome has the ability to find the genes that should be expressed in response to environmental stimuli within minutes, allowing for a multitude of responses in a short timescale. This process shows clear signatures of selection for environments, biospheres, ecosystems and multi-organism life.

The selection of environments and ecosystems for life on a planet creates clear signatures of biology as more than just a small part of physics, indicated by chemical signatures not predicted by random reactions and life's transformations of its surrounding planet beyond what physical laws can account for.

The difference between simple and complex life forms lies in the complexity of their structures and systems.
47:32 - 50:29 (02:56)
Summary
The difference between simple and complex life forms lies in the complexity of their structures and systems. While simple life forms like worms have a mouth, anus, and basic organs to consume and digest food, complex eukaryotic life forms have a nucleus, digestive tract, and limbs to better obtain food.
