What do butterflies, spiders and lobsters have in common? They are all surviving relatives of a newly identified species called Yawunik kootenayi, a marine creature with two pairs of eyes and prominent grasping appendages that lived as much as 508 million years ago - more than 250 million years before the first dinosaur.

Looks delicious. Would stir fry and eat with hot sauce.

Cool.Altho I wish human fossils were more frequently found than these.

We need a lot of answers about our own DNA,a link.
