      Mitochondria, for sure. They even still have their own DNA separate from your actual human DNA.

      Yeah but they didn’t use to be viruses, they used to be bacteria.

      And they didn’t integrate into human genome. They’re just another foreign body that lives inside human cells, but they have their own genome still.
