Post one scientifically heterodox idea/hypothesis/assumption you're fond of.
Deuterostomy is basal to Bilateria, only protostomes are monophyletic. Incidentally, chordates are closely related to protostomes while Xenambulacraria is a more distant offshoot.Related, the ur-bilaterian had a free-swimming larval stage and a sessile adult stage. Many later bilaterians dropped the metamorphosis and developed from the simpler larval stage.
