Abstract
The Cambrian explosion was a time of great evolutionary change, especially in the appearance of organisms with bilateral symmetry. In their Research Commentary, Balavoine and Adoutte discuss recent findings that may allow a reinterpretation of animal phylogeny and may have a profound bearing on understanding of the Cambrian explosion.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
