Not to alarm you, but there is a 50/50 chance that in your mouth, right now, there are fragments of RNA with no relation to any other piece of genome in the entire tree of life as we know it. We don’t know where they’re from, and we didn’t even know about them until earlier this year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk_(biology) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39481381/
