A long time ago, my biology professor presented different scenes of movies to show us how certain Hollywood images would not happen in Nature. In one of the many Planet of the Apes, the protagonist enters a library that looks like a jungle crept inside. Our professor said: “This looks too clean and wouldn’t happen in real life. Where are all the insects?”

The whole lesson was to teach us how Mother Nature connects things. So this “cousin relationship” between coral and amphioxus through the FPs is a discovery of a lifetime!
