Wait. Please explain. How is DNA inside me, a verifiable human, not human?

Your gut flora
I read that comes don't actually eat grass. They have the extra stomachs, and the first stomach is basically a bacteria reactor that feeds on chewed up plant matter. As the bacteria reproduce they get sent to the next stomach which is what actually gives nutrients
It's DNA from bacteria that live inside you.
Bacteria technically live in the tube of "outside" on your inside. Digestive system is just one hole all the way through the body that your body interacts with just like the air in the lungs.
