<p>Very early in the evolutionary history of animals, there was a divergance that would ultimately lead to the creation of two major divisions in the Kingdom Animalia; the Protostomes & Deuterostomes. In this episode, we'll explore this ancient evolutionary split, the physiological differences between the two clades, and the modern descendant species that represents them today.</p>

Episode 84 - Protostomes & Deuterostomes

Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things.

The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself.

At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we come to the modern day, to survey the modern world's biodiversity. Then we'll take a step back to look at the ecological interactions of all this life, and the resulting biomes that define the surface of our planet Earth.

Our journey through the biological realm takes a sudden turn; having learned about life at the grandest scale, we now return to the ground, to look in greater detail at the various organisms that share this world with us. We first explore the physiology & diversity of plants, and then same for the fungi. Moving from flora to fauna, we explore the physiology & diversity of animals, up to and including the human being. 

The path is long and the lessons hard, but for the ever-curious listener, there are many great discoveries and insights to be had in the world of the biological.
