Information is stored in our genetic code we never use. The only scope of human life is to transmit further that information.
At higher level that information is spread in bits across multiple individuals. The reason for sexual procreation is to put together those bits of info.
All matings are not random but following a grand scheme to arrive at the final set of data.
Then what?
Typically we are not aware of the info. Some people access the knowledge, and transmit it – scientists. Or don’t understand it after accessing it, them transmit symbols or try to interpret it – artists.
