"Biology, microbial and else, has not fundamentally changed in the last few billions of years."
It did, by proceeding hierarchically in time. The number of aminoacids got fixed early. The same anticholinesteratics which work on cockroach, will work on you [as nerve gases]. Once choline/acetilcholine nerve transmission appeared [in multicellular organisms with nervous systems], it persisted ever since throughout. Once the basic land animal body plan with four limbs and one head appeared - ditto.

Don't bother responding.
I ain't interested.
You are obviously a smart fellow.
Personally, I don't want people calling me ignorant with impunity.
Not you, but others.
I might not be as ignorant as the next guy, but I can't spell to save my life.
I have to move on. More fun ahead for me in other domains,
