Worms and Humans Are One Family

From now on if someone says that 'you think like a worm', it would not be that offensive. As a matter of fact, it is now a scientific fact, as results of a research of the European laboratory for molecular biology in Heidelberg show that the human brain and the entire human nervous system finds its roots in the most primitive creatures - such as worms and insects.

The human brain has always been a very attractive object for research for almost any area of science, be it genetics, or be it paleontology. As for genetics, it has found that the human brain is in a continuous process of evolution and people in the 21st century are more developed than their ancestors. Two years ago paleontologists made a sensational discovery: they dug out a petrified brain. And here we are today with the molecular biologists saying that we are direct relatives with worms and insects - how encouraging!
