Would be neat if early humans became infected with an Andromeda strain-like bacteria from inhaling meteorite dust. Maybe from the same source that seeded life on earth originally.

After the alien bacteria took up residence in the human gut, it enhanced the human brain, creating the modern human.

Great movie (1971). Saw for first time when I was about 8 and it freaked me out then and still does to this day. Did not see the remake.

601 SYSTEM OVERLOAD makes for an excellent HTTP extension error code on bloated mobile web pages.
