This page references an article published in 1995 by “Scientific American”, with the title “Talking Trash”, where scientists claim to have found “word” patterns in the “junk” DNA of man.
The scientists applied statistical methods, developed by linguists, to the non-coding blueprint, which constitutes 97% of our genome. Due to the fractal-like patterns, they found out that the sequences display long-range correlations, and concluded that junk DNA might contain some kind of organized information. In other words, the sequences follow the same structure of languages.
Based on that article from “Scientific American”, if the organized information was to be decoded, what kind of language would it be? How would our genetic code speak to us? And to say what?
Reading on, we find out about the work of Steve Krakowski. The author takes us through a journey, comparing our genetic code, the I Ching, and the Hebrew alphabet, and more specifically, the letters contained in the 22 Arcana of the Tarot Cards. He arranged and grouped the two systems of divination, in the same way the nucleic and amino acids are grouped and arranged in the genetic code, and reached an enormous similarity of content between the two.
The so called non-coding part of our DNA, is encoded with a message that we yet have to decrypt. And we are getting closer, as technology advances. The reading is highly recommended for anyone interested in metaphysical matters. Really fascinating.

Okay, I agree that “junk” DNA contains useful information. But following “the same structure of languages”…? Which languages — would that be agglutinative, inflecting, or isolating languages? Word order dependent or word order casual, and what order? Because languages can have RADICALLY different structures. At a guess, this probably means “looks like English.” But it would be funnier if DNA turned out to resemble Lakota or Warlpiri.

@Elizabeth Barrette – My understanding, from reading that article, is that they identified a structural pattern, which is typical of languages in general. Not a specific one. It may even be a dead language.
Quoted from there: “They borrowed from the work of linguist George K. Zipf who by looking at texts from several languages ranked the frequency with which words occur. Plotting the rank of words against those in a text produces a distinct relation.”
My guess is that it’s an unknown language, with a structure similar to the two you mention. Definitely not English!
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking your feeds also, Thanks.
