Something like that should be easy to replicate in a lab, right?? /sarc

Why would you ask?
This is an observational study.

I’d’ve thought the first animals would be single-celled.
IIRC, an animal does not have chloroplasts and needs to eat other things for energy (heterotrophic, with extremophiles aside).

From Wiki:
Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia.

Eating or ingestion of organic material was a very important evolutionary development. Without it there never would have been endosymbiosis or the eukaryotic cell.
It predates the evolution of animals by billions of years.

The amoeba actually “eats” (engulfs live) its food.
It’s a matter of semantics.

Humans and a banana share 50% of genes. So take the “98%” in perspective.

Why does sharing so many genes between life forms prove evolution? Does that show a bias by scientists? Could it more likely prove a Creator? Is it possible they are misreading data? Isn’t it possible to look at all the historical information available and come up with numerous false scenarios? Is it possible that all the historical data reveals a Creation?

From the article :
But our analyses show that these genes are also found in animals that do not have a nervous system, such as sponges. That means the genetic basis of the nervous system may have evolved before the nervous system itself did.
Not possible under strict evolution. The body would not evolve something for which it had no use.

...
Bananas, plants, and humans are all made of eukaryotic cells, and in my opinion eukaryotic cells are the true superstars.

The genes had a purpose in the other organisms, just not for the nervous system.

The purpose of this study was to reconstruct a minimum genome for the last common ancestor for all animals.

No. It is pure conjecture—mental masturbation—that is passed off as observational.
