"Have you found any details about whatever it is you've been claiming that corals and people, but not fish, have?" - Virginia-American Fish don't have the endotoxic recognition and signaling that ancient Coral and Modern Humans share. Somehow that trait skipped from Coral to Mammals.

To correct your blatantly incorrect statement for about the billionth time.
- Coral have a primitive Toll-like gene.
- Fish elaborated this into several Toll-like receptors.
- Mammals inherited many of these Toll-like receptors from their tetrapod ancestor (which descended from now-extinct lobe-finned fish and not from modern ray-finned fish) and elaborated these into an even larger family of receptors.
The genetic evidence is consistent with evolution and does not contain any of your imagined "code-skipping".
