You should NEVER go full Hoyle... Wickramasinghe claims alien viruses made octopi... May 19, 2018 4:17 pm RL

Link to paper that should never have been published anywhere…

I have a purely physics background, with very little formal education in the life sciences- but it doesn’t take a PhD in biology to see that these clowns have a real lack of understanding about the nature of viruses… And this stupidity has persisted in their minds for many decades…

The evolution from squid to octopus is compatible with a suite of genes inserted by extraterrestrial viruses. An alternative extraterrestrial scenario discuused is that a population of cryopreserved octopus embryos soft-landed en mass from space 275 million years ago.
