Humans are only walking digestive tracts. From an evolutionary perspective, all other organs originated from a primitive gut and have only one purpose: to serve it.

    I had a funny thought that we are surrounded by bacteria and have bacteria flowing through us, so we are like walking shells: the shell is mostly sterile thanks to white blood cells and antibodies, but inside the shell there’s bacteria, and outside the shell (which is covered by a thin layer of dead shell) there’s bacteria.
