Symbiosis Theory

Symbiosis Theory explores how different species can develop mutually beneficial relationships over time, influencing each other's evolution. Instead of existing separately, these organisms, such as bacteria and humans or plants and fungi, interact closely, sometimes even becoming dependent on one another. This interconnectedness helps explain some evolutionary changes and the development of complex life forms, highlighting that cooperation between species can be as important as competition in shaping life's diversity. The theory emphasizes that partnerships at the biological level often lead to adaptations that benefit all involved, fostering stability and growth within ecosystems.
