Tips for Teachers: Tunicates and Humans

Initiate this activity by emphasizing that a small colonial tunicate is the most closely related invertebrate to humans. It looks like a small blob, but it is closer related to humans than a crab, which has appendages and eyes and mouthparts. Be sure to have a discussion of synapomorphies… what important evolutionary adaptations that are shared between different groups of organisms.
