Re: Alien, I mean really Alien.
my god, theres certainly more than 5 Phylum. The vast majority of them are worms various kinds of worms of dubious distinction, while snails, clams, squids, and octopi all get lumped together as mollusks. is there really all that much setting those worms apart?
should we come up with a new clasification method based on DNA, rather than whaever observational methods we were using when we developed the current method? Id wager its at least a hundred years old, possibly two or three.
