Welcome to this bilingual (Swedish-English) group blog by family members living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, "the pond". Our interests range from the scientific to the eclectic, including gourmet food, horses, art and literature, computers, species in nature, history and iron, and photography. Three generations are posting here.

So mollusc are evolved alongside with vertebraes, I thought they were older in the Tree of Life.
So do we all descent from oysters, yes or no? My knowledge of the first species is somewhat dusty..
What did you think of the picture then, LS?
Molluscs are definitely older than vertebrates as a group, but I don't know how old oysters are. I guess I should find out and post something on oyster evolution here on the blog.
We are not descendants of oysters :) Oysters and vertebrates had a common ancestor far, far back in time. We are all Metazoa = animals, a special lineage on the tree of life.
I love the photo - her drawing skeletons with her own skeleton being part of the photo.
