Is this supposed to make me believe humans and octopus' came from the same singular cell billions of years ago.

Interesting you choose the octopus, the one organism on Earth we know for certain is an alien, to relate to humans

Obviously. (Unless you're one of those Creationist nuts who believes in some "Almighty Omnipotent God" sky-daddy who created everything out of thin air.)

The Science proves Octopi and Humans have evolved from their own unique ancient species of messy primordial soup billions of years ago. Braarudosphaera bigelowii is our "cousin" so to speak.

One of us just evolved to walk and one of us evolved to have 8 tentacles and lives in the sea?

Dats right. Exactly. Ancient relations of Braarudosphaera bigelowii passed down both Octopi 8-legs and tentacles suction cups AND 2-legged human DNA

The Science AND History prove all this in principle in the article.

Once upon a time 4.4 B years ago Braarudosphaera bigelowii algae-soup organisms first passed down their DNA to other consenting algae. THEN we are told, "primary endosymbiosis is thought to have only happened twice that we know of, and each time was a massive breakthrough for evolution. The first occurred about 2.2 billion years ago."

"The second time happened about 1.6 billion years ago, when some of these more advanced cells absorbed cyanobacteria that could harvest energy from sunlight."

Evolution takes time. Fortunately Science can adjust the Time Line as need be, and 4.4 billions years seems be enough time.

Scientism Rules!!

May The Force be with you.
