Was This Sea Creature Our Ancestor? Scientists Turn a Famous Fossil on its Head.

Vertebrates share common features due to descent from a fish ancestor, with ancient creature Pikaia potentially being a relative of vertebrates.

A Random Influx of DNA from a Virus Helped Vertebrates Become So Stunningly Successful

Evolution can also happen abruptly through genetic modifications, such as the introduction of myelin by a virus in vertebrate DNA.

Myelin plays a significant role in the development of cognitive abilities and speed in information transmission in vertebrates, setting them apart from invertebrates.
