Different parts of the world have different landscapes of organisms that are immediately characteristic of one place or another or another.

Those are built by the descendants of the first organisms that gave us the first fossil on Earth.

We have thousands of organisms that can do this.

These organisms can be totally desiccated; they can live in a vacuum.

We can have various organisms in artificial worlds compete and see which survive and which thrive, which sensory systems are more fit.

So, in my lab, we have run hundreds of thousands of evolutionary game simulations with lots of different randomly chosen worlds and organisms that compete for resources in those worlds.

Some of the organisms see all of the reality, others see just part of the reality, and some see none of the reality, only fitness.

In almost every simulation, organisms that see none of reality but are just tuned to fitness drive to extinction all the organisms that perceive reality as it is.

What the equations of evolution are telling us is that all organisms, including us, are in the same boat as the jewel beetle.

Now, regrowing body parts out of nowhere might seem like magic, but there are several organisms that can achieve this feat.

In 1999, my lab at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California started working on this question with the goal of creating living organisms with DNA made up of a six-letter genetic alphabet, the four natural letters plus two additional new man-made letters.

These are the first semisynthetic organisms.

So what sort of new proteins with new types of functions could our semisynthetic organisms make and maybe even use?

For example, could we develop semisynthetic organisms that when injected into a person, seek out cancer cells and only when they find them, secrete a toxic protein that kills them?

Injecting semisynthetic organisms into people, dumping millions and millions of gallons of our bacteria into the ocean or out on your favorite beach?

But here's the catch: our semisynthetic organisms in order to survive, need to be fed the chemical precursors of X and Y. X and Y are completely different than anything that exists in nature.

At the beginning of this talk I told you that we reported in 2014 the creation of semisynthetic organisms that store more information, X and Y, in their DNA.

Here they are, the stars of the show, the first fully-functional semisynthetic organisms.

My lab is already working on expanding the genetic alphabet of other cells, including human cells, and we're getting ready to start working on more complex organisms.

Are most things going to look something like a DNA molecule, or something radically different that can still self-reproduce and potentially create living organisms?

In other words: Are there processes, mechanisms, phenomena in living organisms that can only be explained with a helping hand from quantum mechanics?

To paraphrase a description in the book, he says: At the molecular level, living organisms have a certain order, a structure to them that's very different from the random thermodynamic jostling of atoms and molecules in inanimate matter of the same complexity.

These self-regulating, semi-autonomous units give rise to self-regulating, semi-autonomous units called organs, and these organs coalesce to form things called humans, and these organisms ultimately live in environments, which are partly self-regulating and partly semi-autonomous.

And in some ways we had hooked ourselves back onto this idea: cells, organisms, environments, because we were now thinking about bone stem cells, we were thinking about arthritis in terms of a cellular disease.

The second-most abundant biopolymer on the planet is called chitin, and some 100 million tons of it are produced every year by organisms such as shrimps, crabs, scorpions and butterflies.

The CRISPR technology has already been used to change the DNA in the cells of mice and monkeys, other organisms as well.

The opportunity to do this kind of genome editing also raises various ethical issues that we have to consider, because this technology can be employed not only in adult cells, but also in the embryos of organisms, including our own species.

Anyway, actually, we know that this kind of formation, after several studies, we know that these kinds of formations are living organisms.

The human body can make stuff like ear wax and toe nails, but these organisms can turn parts of their body into glow sticks.

Some of these organisms live even longer.
