What does "being a human colony" mean? A human colony is by definition human, not bacteria.

Also *a bacterium.

Sorry, I meant part of a colony, I guess. Thx for the correction.

“These eukaryotes always need our fucking help.”

100% true if we extend 'life-cycle' to the entire evolutionary organism/branch, not only one instance..

I took it to mean a bacterial colony that was part of a human, which would be true. But I suppose that way of meaning would also be true because the first way is true. 🤔

Well, there are plenty of bacteria who form colonies, though I'm not sure if any do it as part of a stage of life. I'm not aware of any bacteria that have stages of life at all, like how insects have larval, pupal, etc. But bacteria do experience stages as a colony: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

Can see my question that way.

But I think I meant whether the lifecycle of a bacteria including being part of a human cellular colony.

Like we are crucial to and perhaps important the reproductive phase of them.
