Where do animals come from?[edit]

NYT: From Single Cells, a Vast Kingdom Arose by Carl Zimmer. Overview with links to a lot of papers. ^walk victor falk^talk 10:19, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When?[edit]

There must be some estimates of when this hypothetical animal lived... please add them! Fig (talk) 10:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hypothetical animal was undoubtedly marine - needs citation[edit]

I think the timeline for urmetazoa undoubtedly went like this. It does need a citation, I agree

beginning of life
then the urmetazoan developed. This is undoubtedly between 1 and 3 by simple logic
after that a lot of other animals develop
and they are all marine up to some point[citation needed]
after that, land animals develop[citation needed]

Unfortunately I'm not a biologist at all and have no biology books although I could try at the library.

It looks like someone wants the citation for 'undoubtedly' but I think it would be more wikipedia-normal to see this: "...undoubtedly[who?] marine[citation needed]". But I am just going by what I seem to usually find on Wikipedia.
