The human body is a precise and temporary assembly of the natural world.
Roughly 60% of our body mass is water, and our tissues are built from about 20 to 21 chemical elements that account for nearly everything we are.
Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, and trace elements present in extremely small amounts.
Together, they form an estimated 37 to 39 trillion cells, depending on body size and measurement method.
These elements are tangible and traceable. Calcium cycles through rock, soil, and ancient oceans.
Iron exists because of processes that occurred long before Earth took its present form. Oxygen continually moves between atmosphere, plants, and living organisms.
DNA, the double helix found in nearly every cell, carries the biological instructions that guide growth, repair, and inheritance across generations.
However one understands their ultimate origin, the materials that form the human body are drawn directly from the Earth and the wider universe.
We are composed of the same matter that shapes forests, oceans, and stars, organized into life for a limited time, then returned to the world that formed us.
