Little off topic; but is it true that the most primitive/earliest dna is the tunicate. That we homo sapiens are therefore descendants of the sponge. (with a stretch of imagination)
Some folk i know are closer to the sponges than others though

Thanks guys. As I said above I will take more note of the tip next time and post what I think is correct. The one that caught my attention this morning referred to tunicates and said something about sea squirts merely being colonial tunicates. A the definitive characteristic of a tunicate is that the larval stage has a notochord (a primitive/forerunner of the spine). All sessile seasquirts are tunicates as are a number of other free swimming animals (salps for example).
