Interesting concept....

Found this on the National Geographic website. In particular, this like caught my eye:

Was The Humble Sponge Earth's First Animal?

"Some details of early animal evolution still remain to be worked out. In particular, Sogin would like to know whether certain types of fungi are more closely related to animals than other types. If they are, it would mean that the entire animal family is just a branch on the evolutionary tree of the fungi. In a sense, people—and all animals—would be highly evolved fungi."

You know, there's something almost....lovecraftian in the concept we might be highly evolved fungi.......
