were considered "intermediate" between groups such as sponges,
cnidarians and ctenophores, can no longer be considered as such because
of these new genetic findings. These writers say that they have "lost hope"
of constructing such evolutionary family trees:
The new molecular based phylogeny has several important implications.
Foremost among them is the disappearance of "intermediate" taxa between
sponges, cnidarians, ctenophores, and the last common ancestor of
bilaterians or "Urbilateria."...A corollary is that we have a major gap in the
stem leading to the Urbilataria. We have lost the hope, so common in older
evolutionary reasoning, of reconstructing the morphology of the "coelomate
ancestor" through a scenario involving successive grades of increasing
complexity based on the anatomy of extant "primitive" lineages. 68

Trilobites vs. Darwin

One of the most interesting of the many different species that
suddenly emerged in the Cambrian Age is the now-extinct trilobites.
Trilobites belonged to the Arthropoda phylum, and were very complicated
creatures with hard shells, articulated bodies, and complex organs. The
fossil record has made it possible to carry out very detailed studies of
trilobites' eyes. The trilobite eye is made up of hundreds of tiny facets, and
each one of these contains two lens layers. This eye structure is a real
