Science is constantly looking for answers to many biological phenomena, creatures from land or water, but what particularly intrigues the scientific community these days is a new claim about octopuses.

Namely, according to the scientists who published the article "The cause of the Cambrian explosion - terrestrial or cosmic?", In a journal of biophysics and molecular biology, octopuses come to us no less and no more - from space, write from the page BGR

The article states that life on planet Earth began thanks to a rain of retroviruses that fell on its surface from space. In the sequences of DNA in the Earth's genomes, scientists have studied additional mutations that have led to this weird, yet possible interpretation.

Scientists claim that some cephalopods, such as octopuses and squid, came to Earth by falling on it, previously frozen from space.

"It cannot be ruled out that frozen squid and octopus eggs arrived in icy cars hundreds of millions of years ago," the article said.

The authors of the article say that octopuses and other creatures enjoy biological characteristics that come from "some kind of former life". The thesis that life began elsewhere than on Earth is not new.
