Several studies involving molecular analyses of Comb jellies, also known as sea gooseberries, cast doubt on the theory that sponges are the oldest animal phylum. Reported results of the studies suggested that Comb jellies, more complex animals having muscles and a nervous system, may actually be the true, first phylum of animals that diverged from a metazoan common ancestor. However, in 2015, a team of scientists re-analyzed the genetic data in the Comb jellies research with more specialized methods, and they determined that sponges were indeed the oldest animal phylum. If Comb jellies were actually found to be the oldest animal phylum, how would this information impact our current understanding of the evolution of organisms?
