Symbiogenesis is the process by which two or more distinct species or kinds of organisms blend their genes and matabolisms and evolve into new species. Charles Darwin argued that new species evolve only when one species brances into two species. Lynn Margulis argued that new species could also arise when different species or kinds mix genes.
