It's even theorized that the genesis of the entire Eukaryota domain and many of its organnelles (notably mitochondria and chloroplasts) are the results of repeated cellular endosymbiosis where a unicellular organism consumed a prokaryote that eventually becomes a useful part of the host cell instead of its food.

A parallel could be drawn with CVCs acquiring startups. Or tiger penis soup. Neither being generally palatable dinner table conversation, but both similarly unlikely consumptive cultural concepts!

LOL! I don't know if I would compare symbiosis with predation or parasitism.
