Summary Introduction
To trace: The early evolution of animals by using current hypothesis.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom. The biologists mostly depend on the fossils to compare the similarities of body plan and the pattern of development to determine the evolutionary relationships among various animal groups.
