Does "and your aunt Gertrude" mean "and human being"?
Context:
Investigations of many organisms, from bacteria to humans, revealed that this "genetic code," by which information
in DNA and RNA is translated into protein, is universal in all known organisms. No tower of Babel was to be allowed in the language of life. GAG means glutamic acid in the language of soil bacteria, the mustard weed, the alligator, and your aunt Gertrude.
