What makes an Animal?
• Eukaryotic• Heterotrophic• Multicellular• Diploid• Are motile at some stage
of the Life Cycle
Why is embryonic development important in our understanding of evolution?
• Evolutionary Developmental Biology (“Evo-Devo”)– Comparisons of
developmental characters in different organisms can often reveal ancestral relationships
– Excellent characters for use in building phylogenies
Ernst Haeckel 1892

• Development of the Blastula• Gastrulation
Triploblastic Development
Protostomes
(“mouth first”)
Deuterostomes
(“mouth second”)
Blastopore=mouth
Blastopore=anus
Tissues• Parazoa - group of organisms without true
