Billions of years ago the first Earthly "organism" with "genetic material" evolved in a puddle of primordial soup.

Since then, EVERY organism, every living thing, including you & I, has been genetically modified from that first "living thing." That's called evolution.

Why do we have a dozen dfferent kinds of apples? Because they're all GMO from the first "apple," which was GMO from some other fruit, all of which were GMOs a thousand (million?) times over from some living thing that resembled a "fruit tree" hundreds of millions of years ago

Because they're all GMO. Why do we have different kind,Ds
