The Shape of Life
Episode I


What organism is thought to be the first multi-cellular animal?

The ancient sponge is thought to be the first multi-cellular animal.

How is it the same & different from animals today?
Animals today are much more diverse than sponges. They survive through caring for themselves and finding mates to reproduce. Their means of getting food usually involve moving around and searching for it. They engage in competitions between their own kind as well as other creatures living in that habitat. Sponges are much more difficult to spot. They don't have a particular type of body that distinguishes themselves from other living things. The way they get food does not involve hunting or searching for it. They do not move from place to place in order to seek a better habitat; they adapt to their environment.

How do scientists know it’s an animal?

Scientists can identify animals by its physical appearance and lifestyle.

What evidence do scientists have to prove that other animals evolved from this organism?

They've identified the genes in multi-cellular animals and compared it to that of the sponge. Every multi-cellular animal contained the same blueprint as that of the sponge's.

What more do you want to know?

I want to gain more knowledge concerning the life of a sponge and comprehend it's ways of surviving in the depths of the ocean.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
