           tures, and the Nemotada, which includes roundworms.
                Arthropods, for instance, (insects, spiders and other inverte-
           brates with stiff exoskeletons) represent a completely separate phy-
           lum. Chordata, on the other hand, includes creatures with a noto-
           chord—a long rod in the embryo consisting of a string of cells that
           will constitute the creature’s spinal cord—or more often, a spinal
           column. All vertebrates, such as birds, fish, reptiles and mammals,

           belong to this phylum. Mollusca is a separate phylum, including
           clams, oysters and slugs. Annelids are yet another phylum, to which
           earthworms belong.
                The internal organization determining the phyla is controlled
           by a large number of genes. This means that in order for evolution
           to take place in such a way as for one organism to develop into an-
           other and for two distinct phyla to emerge, all the details of the first
