The jelly is suspected to be source of all animals
The jellyfish are marine invertebrates that can be found in any ocean of the world and even in some fresh waters.
Contrary to what people think the jelly is not a fish but an organism that belongs to the class Scyphozoa.
One special jelly is creating a lot of turbulence in the science world (the one in the photo) because it’s shaking some beliefs.
Through a massive analysis of the evolutionary biology of animals it has been suggested that this jellyfish might just be the direct progeny of the first animal on Earth making it the earliest member of the kingdom that includes insects, fish, reptiles, birds, mammals (including humans) and many more or all the ones that belong to the kingdom Animalia.
Normally experts were supposing the sponge to be the first true animal because it is the simplest known, lacking in distinct tissues and nervous system which are two of the jelly characteristics.
This discovery is a blow to the mindset that evolution automatically means increasing complexity, researchers say.
This completely new and amazing discovery to the world of science has been published by researchers in the 10 of April issue of Nature.

“This discovery is a blow to the mindset that evolution automatically means increasing complexity, researchers say.”
These researchers don’t know much about the concept of evolution then. English semantics are the only place where the scientific term “evolution” means anything close to “advancement.”

Hmm…. Jelly!
I like it.
