The Deuterostomes and the rise of the Vertebrates: from Echinoderms to Man 1
The Deuterostomes Calcarea and Silicea Cnidaria Lophotrochozoa Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia 2
The Ancestral Deuterostome Bilateral Symmetry Radial Cleavage Coelomate Internal Skeleton 3
Echinoderms are the Current most Basal Deuterostomes Bilateral symmetry is the ancestral condition. Echinoderms evolved unique pentaradial symmetry; other deuterostomes retained bilateral symmetry. Echinoderms show their ancestral condition in their development 4

Hemichordates Hemichordates (acorn worms and pterobranchs) have a three-part body plan proboscis, collar, and trunk. 7

The Chordates All chordates share a set of derived characters Some species have some of these traits only during embryonic development Four key characters of chordates: Notochord Dorsal, hollow nerve cord Pharyngeal slits or clefts Muscular, post-anal tail Chordates 9

Get a head the Craniates The origin of a head opened up a completely new way of feeding for chordates: active predation Craniates have two clusters of Hox genes; lancelets and tunicates have only one cluster One feature unique to craniates is the neural crest, a collection of cells near the dorsal margins of the closing neural tube in an embryo Neural crest cells give rise to a variety of structures, including some of the bones and cartilage of the skull 14

Finally The Vertebrates! Vertebrate characteristics: Rigid internal skeleton supported by the vertebral column. Anterior skull with a large brain. Internal organs suspended in a coelom. Well-developed circulatory system with a heart. 16
