DNA molecules resemble serpents from "summary" of The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby
The idea that DNA molecules resemble serpents may sound far-fetched at first, but upon closer examination, the similarities become apparent. Both DNA molecules and serpents have a long, coiled structure that twists and turns in intricate patterns. The double helix shape of DNA is reminiscent of a serpent coiled upon itself, ready to strike. Furthermore, both DNA molecules and serpents are essential for life. DNA contains the genetic information that determines the traits of living organisms, while serpents have long been symbols of regeneration and transformation in many cultures. Just as DNA is the building block of life on Earth, serpents are often seen as powerful symbols of life and rebirth. In addition to their physical similarities, DNA molecules and serpents are both shrouded in mystery and symbolism. DNA, with its complex code and seemingly infinite possibilities, has long fascinated scientist...
