@GullumLuvl Yes! I never understood the insistence especially in of using the term or even "metazoans" all the time when "animals" is perfectly fine.

This really weird title for a C. elegans scRNA-seq atlas reminds me of @Odedrechavi who said that "metazoan" in a paper abstract means the work is about fly or nematode.

With the progress in high quality genome assemblies and in bioinformatics of comparative genomics, it seems that we're going to see increasing resolution of tough points of animal phylogeny: "Ancient gene linkages support ctenophores as sister to other animals" nature.com/articles/s41586-023

I learned recently that while the and literature overwhelmingly use the term , it is an obsolete junior synonym to .
taxonomy uses Metazoa, consistent with the use in molecular fields ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Brow
but @gbif uses Animalia gbif.org/species/1, as does @Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal
As for , they don't seem to care for modern concerns about phylogeny and such animalbase.uni-goettingen.de/z

It's kindah long(just like the blender video) But these two video on the origin of animals () from are pretty interesting:

RIF-1.. like the cells see that maybe it's one of the indicators that the food source is easier to catch by rosetting. Doesn't seem clear it is necessarily related to evolution of multicellularity.

Oh btw, i don't really know what i am talking about.
