The traditional idea that animal evolution has followed a trajectory from simple to complex—from sponge to chordate—meets a dramatic exception in the metazoan tree of life.

Pyrotex Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Cool article. The one thing I noted was that the new "tree of life" indicates that the "nervous system" actually independently evolved TWICE on this planet. Now consider the fact that the "eye" has independently evolved over TWENTY times! If it was so highly, unimaginably improbable for these features to have spontaneously generated, then you certainly would NOT expect them to do so multiple times.
