I don't deny the importance of the finding. Bilateria and non-bilateria are huge groups in the animal kingdom and if this animal doesn't fit in one of them is really something.
But (for now, without ADN analysis) it's just a new structure plan. I just find the title about "a new branch of life" a little sensationalist :)
- lmm 12y agoI think the article was using "branch" colloquially, rather than in some technical sense. And it's saying "may be" rather than "is".
- gus_massa 12y agoThe problem is that it's an exaggeration like: "New article title may be a new branch of linkbait art" A better title is "Deep sea 'mushroom' may be new branch of animals" or "Deep sea 'mushroom' may be new branch of animal kingdom". I'm still not 100% happy with the proposed title, but it's more realistic. One of the problems is that it's not a mushroom nor mushroom related. It's only a weird animal with a strange shape that looks like a mushroom.
