Using a baseball game, the study presents evidence that our society is based on genetic principles inherited from our microbial ancestors. Our behavior (baseball, myth, Christianity, alchemy, literature, art, capitalism, genetic engineering, and so on) shows that we have the potential to evolve at death into a unique hybrid species. Although élite historical rulers have veiled this knowledge, our behavior has stamped a viral footprint for evolution on the last 12,000 years of human history.
