that must be a joke. viruses are obligate parasites, as was
pointed out. to do anything, they require a host. In that
"anything" I include the processes of producing the nucleic acids
and proteins that comprise the virus particle. The protein (and
DNA/RNA) consituents don't just happen to be floating around,
they are made in the viruses host. A virus cannot precede it's
host in evolution. The earliest life forms, whatever they were,
needed the ability to self-replicate. Viruses lack this ability.
