Full transcript of Your Blood is Actually 400-Million-Year-Old Seawater
The fluid pumping through your veins right now is actually four-hundred-million-year-old seawater. Before life ever crawled onto dry land, the primordial ocean was its only womb. In those mineral-rich depths, ancient, massive sharks ruled a silent, sunlit world. On distant, misty shores, the very first primitive trees were just beginning to sprout. To migrate to land, our ancestors couldn't leave the water behind. So, they brought the ocean with them, trapping it inside their cells. Today, the exact sodium and mineral ratio in your blood mirrors that ancient sea. You aren't just studying evolution. Your body is a walking, breathing piece of it. Every heartbeat is still a pulse of the primordial tide.
