I've done some thinking about zombies. Based on my recent comic book reading, is it possible that zombies are the opposite of what we've thought.
It is generally thought that a zombie is a living human who has caught a virus that converts them into a zombie. However, what if the reverse is true?
It is the virus that is the actual zombie, and it kills the living human. Then it takes over the corpse to provide it with a means to survive and travel since it can't survive in the open air.
The reason zombies move in a very unstead manner is that the virus is of limited intelligence and must rely on an inefficient communcation network between the virus cells to direct movement.
Due to the virus' limited intelligence, it operates in a very simple manner with a basic goal: To seek out new uninfected individuals to provide it with food and space for new zombie virus cells to live. This could be the reason that zombies don't attack other zombies, only living bodies can provide the zombie virus with what it needs (a home and food).
As far as why humans are the main target for the virus, it could be that the human bodies are simply the most accomodating for the virus. It is likely that when there are no uninfected humans left the virus would move on to other living creatures.
Just a theory. What are your thoughts?
