Coexisted, yes. Peacefully, however — that's another matter. Unfortunate that it's all too rare. In the natural world, there is evidence of mutualism, a harmonious existence alongside each other. One species mutates and the other doesn't change and yet they can share their world in peace, miraculously.

But that's a story for another day. ]
