What does “being a human colony” mean? A human colony is by definition human, not bacteria.
Also *a bacterium.
Sorry, I meant part of a colony, I guess. Thx for the correction.
I took it to mean a bacterial colony that was part of a human, which would be true. But I suppose that way of meaning would also be true because the first way is true. 🤔
Can see my question that way.
But I think I meant whether the lifecycle of a bacteria including being part of a human cellular colony.
Like we are crucial to and perhaps important the reproductive phase of them.
Well, there are plenty of bacteria who form colonies, though I’m not sure if any do it as part of a stage of life. I’m not aware of any bacteria that have stages of life at all, like how insects have larval, pupal, etc. But bacteria do experience stages as a colony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth
“These eukaryotes always need our fucking help.”
100% true if we extend ‘life-cycle’ to the entire evolutionary organism/branch, not only one instance…
