    • This reveals that there is an inherent tendency for endosymbiosis which has operated throughout the evolution of biological systems.
    • Potential explanations for these patterns are suggested by the biology of this endosymbiosis.
    • It is also used more generally to distinguish the classical view from one that recognizes important role of lateral gene transfer of which endosymbiosis would be just the most dramatic example.
