#82Sometimes I wonder if we're just giant machines built by microorganisms. It would certainly make an interesting story, along the idea of a robot discovering they were made by somebody else, which I believe has already been explored
Like the Extended Phenotype thing explored by Dawkins.

Is there data that supports this? (I don't even know where to look for a query of that sort)
The change in a cancer cell's glucose processing is known as the Warburg Effect. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warburg_effect_(oncology) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2849637/
Thanks.
Is there any study that areas of malnutrition have lower cancers? I imagine it's hard sorting out causality, with sugar in wealthy western style diets, and perhaps different environmental stressors (pollution?) elsewhere?

Reminded me: > Animals are something invented by plants to move seeds around. An extremely yang solution to a peculiar problem which they faced. (Terence McKenna)
Life is just is a way for water to transport itself.
Life is, after all, what happens when you put together a bunch of hydrogen and wait a while.

An interesting fact that I learned from the book Metazoa is that biological diversity was greater in the seas than on land, until about 130 million years ago, and then the explosion of diversity on land, at that time and still now, was because of a feedback loop that developed between plants and insects, with the insects allowing greater specialization among the plants, and the greater diversity among plants allowing…
until trees with their wood laid waste to this balance? at least until fungi figured hoe to break lingin?
Your dates are off by 100 million years. You're confusing the late Paleozoic for the late Mesozoic. Trees came first, the explosion of land-based bio-diversity happened more than 100 million years later.

quora says animals https://www.quora.com/Which-evolved-first-plants-or-animals
Algae existed long before animals And even on land, he seems to be wrong (or at least not up to date): https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2018/february/plant-life... , https://www.science.org/content/article/land-plants-arose-ea...
This is precisely my point - algae are not plants, they evolved a long time before
