Of course hermaphroditic worms are one thing, and humans traits are another

Yeah, I have to keep reminding myself of that.

future studies will need to investigate if similar pathways are possible in humans (though the authors suggest they don’t see why they wouldn’t)

Why wouldn’t an extra-cellular protein have a similar pathways in humans as worms? This research will be easy. Any amyloids in the semen? How about the uterine fluid? Done.
