The results of recent studies have shown that such a life form as octopus did not form on our planet. The eggs of these cephalopods came from distant space with a comet.
Recently, Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology published a work by a group of thirty-three researchers that talks about the phenomenon of panspermia. This means that octopuses and many other living organisms travel through space, gathering in entire colonies on comets.
When such cosmic "pebbles" hit the Earth, they drag all these living creatures with them. For the most part, bacteria enter our planet. As for the octopuses, then, most likely, their eggs flew to us in a canned state.
There is an assumption that the "ancestors" of cephalopods could have arrived to us millions of years ago. The fact is that in the history of the formation of the life of our world, these creatures appeared extremely unexpectedly. As if out of nowhere. And it happened two hundred seventy million years ago.
Many people think that in the new work, scientists will be able to find at least some evidence of the arrival of squids and octopuses from extraterrestrial space. In fact, there is nothing like it there.
The publication provides a broader view of the origin of the pop-eyed inkwells. The areas of biophysics, biomedicine, evolutionary parameters and other scientific areas that have their influence on the formation of theses and definitions for the existence of every living species on earth are covered. Perhaps, not only cephalopods have extraterrestrial origin.
