Humans

DNA made up of 4 nucleic acids (4-bit code)

48 chromosomes in humans, each contain 3 billion of these

combinations of bits

Can random search find humans?

• Assume only 0.1% genome must be discovered, nucleotides
• Assume parallel search with huge population, humans
• Assume very short generation, 1 generation / second
• individuals per year, but alternatives
• years to generate human randomly

Self-reproduction, self-repair, adaptability are the rule in natural systems, they hardly exist in the artificial world

Finding and adopting nature's approach to computational design should unlock many doors in science and engineering
