These arachnids, belonging to the arthropod phylum, have been given this name be-
cause their structure is reminiscent of scorpions. However, their anatomical character-
istics are much closer to those of spiders than of scorpions. The oldest known
specimens lived in the Devonian period (417 to 354 million years ago). And these in-
vertebrates have never changed since the moment they first appeared in the fossil
record. The fact that they remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years is
proof that they never evolved.
