I do not get what this list is trying to tell us? Please explain, Lawrence.

This statement is simply not true.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to advocate genetic modification by 
humans, I do not think artificial GMOs are a good idea, the contrary. But 
nontheless have I been gathering (from Lynn Margulis "Evolution"), that 
cross-species and even cross-kingdom gene migration is actually quite common. 
I even recall having read (do not remember sources, but it was more than 
once), that even the human genome contains quite a big percentage of 
bacterial genes.

You scientists on the list, please correct me or help me out!
