[Sudhakaran @SudhakaranPrab]

the central idea of my book, Eclipsed Horizons: the ~98% of our genome long dismissed as "junk" is not evolutionary debris but a dark genome — a reservoir of latent potential that may shape how we adapt, and how we might one day live beyond Earth.
@TVVen does a beautiful job of it in @TheFederal_News , framing the science through the Mahābhārata — a genuinely inventive way to make the ideas land for a wide readership. grateful for the care he's taken. first of two parts.
