"Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?"

Best hypothesis I have seen is an eaten form turning into the nucleus of the eater.

B: Basically the hypothesis proposed by Lynn Margulis. Certain cell structures like mitochodria, chloroplasts etc. started perhaps as captured single cell animals and togethar they and the host evolved into a symbiotic relationship.

I know, but the subject and question really was, are Prokaryotes the first life on Earth, that we all evolved from, and if so, WHAT PUT THE PROKARYOTES here, and how?
