One of the features taken as evidence that two organisms share a common ancestor is the possession of a number of unique traits that are found in those organisms, and are not found in other groups of organisms.\n\nThe following is a (partial) list of the characters shared by all chordates (the phylum to which vertebrates belong)\n\n- Possession of a notochord (which is a dorsal axial rod of vacuolated muscular cells surrounded by a connective tissue which forms in the blastocyst from the roof of the archenteron).  The notochord functions as a skeleton and resists deformation when muscles contract.\n\n- Pharyngeal gill slits (originally for filter feeding, also for respiration)\n\n- Dorsal hollow nerve cord derived by invagination of ectoderm along the dorsal midline, sometimes with anterior expansion (brain)\n\n- Postanal tail (major locomotory organ in most chordates)\n\n- Subpharyngeal gland, which is secretory tissue in the endoderm of the pharynx floor (endostyle in protochordates, thyroid gland in 'higher' chordates)\n\n- Ventral heart\n\n- Segmented body with segmented axial muscles, axial skeleton, gill arches, nerves, aortic arches\n\n- Ectodermal ciliated canal (endocrine function, pituitary in 'higher' chordates)\n\nIn addition, there are several features unique to the the vertebrates:\n\n- Neural crest cells (arising from neural groove, become melanocytes, sensory neurons etc.)\n\n- Endoskeleton of bone and/or cartilage\n\n- 3 part brain\n\n- Muscular pharyngeal pump\n\n- Jointed internal skeleton (unique in Animal Kingdom)\n\n- Unsegmented gonads\n\n- Usually with a skeletal cylinder protecting the dorsal hollow nerve cord (i.e. vertebrae)\n\n- Pharynx is chiefly respiratory\n\n- Gas bladder for buoyancy control and respiration (in most)\n\n- Paired jaws (in most)\n\n- Paired appendages (in most)\n\n- Cranium protecting the brain (poorly developed in some)\n\nAll of these features are shared between all the vertebrates, from nasty lamprey and disgusting hagfish to cute kitty cats and arrogant humans to giant blue whales and extinct ankylosaurs.\n\nThe possession of all of these features suggests that these organisms share a common ancestor from which they inherited all these traits.

From straight dope: The ridges themselves aren't graced with a name, but the depression between them is. It's a cute one: philtrum, from the Greek philtron, meaning "love charm."

Cordia is a genus of shrubs and trees in the borage family Boraginaceae. About 300 species have been identified worldwide, mostly in warmer regions.\n\nMany Cordias have fragrant showy flowers and are popular in gardens, although they are not especially hardy.

cephalochordates should be examined vis a vis Hemichordates and urochordates. According to older classification these are the the three sub phyla of the phylum chordata.\nThe salient features of cephalochordates is the notochord that extends up to the head region.In chordates the notochord gives rise to the vertebral column and hence it should not extend up to the head region as the first neck vertebra starts from the posterior part of the skull.\nOther important features of cephalochordates include the presence of circulatory system, excretory system formed by flame cells(protonephridia), presence of wheel organ, Hatschek' pits, ciliary mode of feeding, presence of atrial apertures, segmental musculature, presence of epipharyngeal groove and endostyle, ciliated pharynx. Ductless gonads.Two dorsal aortae.

Ossification is the process of bone formation, in which connective tissues, such as cartilage are turned to bone or bone-like tissue. The ossified tissue is invaginated with blood vessels. These blood vessels bring minerals like calcium and deposit it in the ossifying tissue. It is thought that this process led to bone as a structural element in vertebrates. Minerals were deposited in cartilage, which was used for storage. Bone was thus an exaptation from the ossified cartilage

this is a bunch of medical words that are put together.  In the string they are in here, they don't mean anything.  If this were in the middle of a sentace, it might have meaning.

It acutally means an F chord with a G bass.\nThe C/G you mention is also of this form -- C chord with a G bass.  Play the normal chord, but with a different bass note.

How can there be a new phylogeny? I thought that the phylum for humans is chordata. If our phylogeny is different than that of chordata, then we would be composed of differently right? Maybe I'm not understanding the question very well...
