The First Animal on Earth Is Finally Found
Ever wonder what the very first animal on Earth was? 🐾 Scientists believe they’ve finally figured it out, and it’s not what you’d expect! It wasn’t a dinosaur or a giant sea creature—it was a simple, jelly-like organism called a comb jelly. 🌊 These tiny, shimmering creatures existed over 500 million years ago and paved the way for all animals today. What’s mind-blowing is how their simple bodies and nervous systems can still teach us about evolution. 🧬✨ Credit: b3ean0 / Reddit Life in the Ediacaran sea: By Ryan Somma, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... , https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...
