Abstract

Over 600 million years ago, the first multicellular metazoans evolved from their single celled ancestors. Although not recorded in the fossil record, the earliest events in metazoan evolution can be inferred by integrating findings from phylogenetics, genomics, and cell biology. Comparisons of choanoflagellate — microeukaryote relatives of metazoans, with sponges (the earliest known metazoans) — reveal genetic innovations associated with metazoan origins. Among these are the evolution of gene families required for cell adhesion and cell signaling, the presence of which catalyzed the evolution of multicellularity and whose functions have since been elaborated to regulate cell differentiation, developmental patterning, morphogenesis, and the functional integration of tissues. The most ancient tissues — differentiated epithelia — are found in sponges and evolved before the origin and diversification of modern phyla.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
