Virus origin could relate to the act of prey among primitive life forms

Viruses could have originated from the frantic competition to survive among primitive life forms. This is the result of this new hypothesis which proposes that viruses could have originated as remnants of the disintegration of primitive microorganisms. The disintegration can have resulted from an attack of other cells for the purpose of nutrition or imposing control on the nutritional sources. This view is conclusive and can replace old hypotheses and additionally, it is flexible and explains virus diversity.
