Sometimes I wonder what would be the smallest program to generate humans DNA. How many operations would it take and how would it compare to real world iterations of total evolution.

Not sure what kinds of selection pressures there has been for shorter DNA strings, but presumably you could compress it a great deal putting it in a .zip file. Now imagine the havoc caused by random mutations on that format though.

If we ever find a perfect theory of physics, then that might be the smallest program to generate human DNA.
