metazoans

• “Read the title again, then read "In other cases, Monosiga proteins are associated with signaling domains not found in metazoans or found in a different architecture, indicating it has successfully explored new paths within signaling space.”

• “The one that we know, that maintained the biotic sphere from unicellular organisms to the diversity of the metazoans is unremarkable?”

• “What choanoflagellates clearly demonstrate is that genes, long thought to be metazoan-specific because of their function in metazoans, can indeed exist in a unicellular state across deep time.”

• “As for HGT/LGT and metazoans - anyone see "The Fly"?”

  A Disclaimer for Behe?

• “In the context of this thread, the homeobox regulatory mechanism of non-metameric ancestral metazoans (such as flatworms) would qualify as an exaptation for the homeobox regulatory mechanism of their metameric descendants.”

  Ancient Predator Revealed!

• “Guts: At this point the monosiga and metazoan lineages diverged – monosiga kept its single celled lifestyle because it had it's own niche to fill with it's own environmental challenges, while metazoans went on to become multicellular.”

• “There isn't anything in any of those research papers that shows that single-celled organisms can "evolve" into multi-cellular metazoans.”

  Biomolecular Networks

• “We have a common ancestor that evolved intercellular signalling (for e.g. colonialism, mating), a function which was expanded in certain lineages, (esp. metazoans that used those signally functions to coordinate across specialized tissues).”

• “ID guy: Can any of thise researchers show that multi-cellular metazoans evolved from those single-celled organism?”
