Viruses may be nonliving, but they're about as close to living as you can get without crossing the line.

I'd suggest "The selfish gene" as an interesting read to help put the concept of replicative genes in perspective.

Simply put, stable things survive. You can be stable in a durability, or stable in a temporal sense, you replicate and make more of yourself.

Prions would be a good example of this phenomenon.

viruses are primitive. they've co-evolved with life on earth. around 8% of the human genome is viral. (HERVs- human endogenous retroviruses)

Mitochondria are weird - they generate the energy in our cells but they aren't actually human. Billions of years ago they inserted themselves into our proto cells and found that we offer protection, food and warmth, we found that they generate energy for us efficiency. It's s symbiotic relationship and we have evolved together all this time. Isn't that amazing!

Yearly or seasonal sniffles are due to exposure to the elements. This is a concept that has been around for thousands of years in holistic medicine. The exposure to things like rapid wind, dry/cold air, etc will produce symptoms similar to a cold just like extreme heat produces heat stroke. This is countered by eating foods that counter this.

This is why in summer, available foods are fruits, which cool the body. In the winter, without fruits, we rely more on meats, which are said to be more warming.In summer and fall, you should rely on foods that boost the lungs and prevent them from getting unbalanced in the first place.

been around for millions of years. they are fragments of DNA that somehow got ripped apart from a full DNA .
Little zombie pieces of DNA attacking cells just to replicate , that is there whole instruction.
Probably started from radiation billions of years ago
