Ancestors

This morning's early walk:

when you see through
life it seems unlikely
we descended


More than half a billion years ago a single line of species separated from all other animals and scientists have believed this originated with sea sponges. New genome sequencing suggests that it was the comb jelly. Researchers from the University of Miami and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in Maryland have created the first full genome sequence of a comb jelly and found it was related to all other animal species in the world.
