Care to elaborate? Because this seems pretty surprising
Oof. That is a big ask because I am not an expert on the topic; just learned and wise. If you are willing to burn quite a bit of energy, I could use a LLM to explain the topic.
Off the top of my head, in my currently tired, flu-ish state: Research has shown that our bodies integrate information (DNA) from viruses/bacteria. In a very basic sense, viruses are able to change our DNA. Surviving an infection is a form of upgrade/mutation. You are still you, with the information held in the virus now part of yourself.
Evolution.
