"What type or algorithm of compression exists in DNA such that all the complexity of creating a person fits in only 2.36 gigabytes of base-pair information?" My attempt at answering this: https://qr.ae/TWtvKs

Some thoughts: 1. The more compressed the phenotype is w/in the DNA, the more far-reaching implications I'd expect any DNA change to have. Which seems like it would limit the potential to evolve & so limit the viable level of compression. Is that at all right or is it nonsense?

The compression is so effective that only a fraction of the DNA program codes for the body (just like only a fraction of a Jeff Bezos' mind codes for the structure of Amazon). And a lot of this structure is error correcting, so most mutations are not fatal.
