Humans can be described as a computer

Our bodies represent the hardware. The capacitors, ICs, etc. are our bodies. Just the physical body. And of course the software and hardware have to match. you can't run windows 10 on a commodore 64. And of course the DNA is the computer program.

Some aspects of humans can be described that way.
Not all of them, not at all.
DNA is ONE the stored "memories". A one that haves part of the command on how the "hardware" will be.
But there are others. The social one, experience and so.

@ElRengo yeah the DNA is like the computer program. But the brain is obviously self functioning

@Axeroberts
Not so obvious.
It´s "pupose" is mainly to better interact with what is out there.
So it works in terms conditional to those things and events.
AND..........
.....for doing so.........
It needs a knowledge that is not built in, but adquired by experience, own one and form others.

@ElRengo it's much more capable than that. And it's individual

@Axeroberts
Of course it´s capable of more.
But in evolutive terms would not even exist if not but it´s main task. The out there.
Yes, it´s individual.
Provided that humans are individuals of a certain species that is social or would never had become humans.
And THAT is so strong that there would not be an individual knowledge significative enough to mention it if there were not also a social kind of knowledge as it´s frame.
