Chapter 27.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To summarize:
Fossil and DNA evidences documenting the origin and early diversification of animals.
Concept introduction:
Fossils are preserved remains, impression, traces of extinct organisms from past geological age.
They are studied to deduce about the evolutionary history of organisms. According to one study, all animals evolved from single-celled eukaryotes that resembled the present day choanoflagellates.
