I don't have my ping list handy, so if y'all could get the word out.

LBB's gonna be pissed. His contention that all genetics disproves evolution has hit another stumbling block.

"The sea squirt enjoys a special place in the hearts of biologists because it provides the first evolutionary connection between invertebrates and vertebrates," Levine said. "You look at the adult and you think it is one simple creature, but if you look at the embryo, you see a clear connection to higher animals. This is our ancient, ancient cousin."

Just thought you'd enjoy this quote, Mr. "All Biology Disproves Evolution."

More evidence that evolution has no preferred direction. The young sea squirt has a notochord and swims around. It seems to be a primitive chordate perhaps on its way to becoming a real vertebrate. Yeah!

Instead of which it attaches itself head-down to the sea floor and spends the rest of its life acting more like a sponge.

Uh...speak for yourself. I don't claim that thing as kin.

the juvenile sea squirt is an aquatic mammal that swims around until it finds a suitable rock or coral reef to spend the rest of its life. And then it eats its own brain . . . kind of like some managers I know.
