Do viruses evolve? and if they do, is it possible that they may one day evolve 
into living organisms?
I'm in grade 12 right now and I am currently doing a research project on 
virology.  I have been asked by my teacher to draw some connections between my 
research project and evolution.  After contemplating this matter for some time, 
I have come up with this question which I have not been able to find any 
information about.  Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks.
