About 8% of the human genome is comprised of human endogenous retroviruses.

I kinda love that we've all got (slightly) more bacteria cells than human cells in our bodies:

Thoroughly revised estimates show that the typical adult human body consists of about 30 trillion human cells and about 38 trillion bacteria.

It makes me feel like a mech for bacteria!

Tbf the bacteria cells are much smaller, by volume and by mass you’re definitely mostly you cells
