Some viruses are very advanced in their evolution, compared to what they started as. However, in absolute terms and compared to most other biological entities, viruses are barely evolved at all; they are in fact not considered life at all, and are probably remnanats of the earliest complicated organic forms.

Evaluate the argument that emerging viruses are new viruses?

Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary biology that is specifically concerned with the evolution of viruses. Many viruses, in particular RNA viruses, have short generation times and relatively high mutation rates (on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication for RNA viruses). This elevated mutation rate, when combined with natural selection, allows viruses to quickly adapt to changes in their host environment. Viral evolution is an important aspect of the epidemiology of viral diseases such as influenza, HIV, and hepatitis. It also causes problems in the development of successful vaccines and antiviral drugs, as resistant mutations often appear within weeks or months after the beginning of the treatment
