They’re the only ones left from before the appearance jaws, aside from hagfish, which are in many ways so simplified that they’d be misleading on their own. Not that lampreys aren’t specialized in their own ways. The whole feeding on blood thing is not primitive (and is only in adults; the young feed by straining plankton). But what they have in common with other vertebrates tells us a lot.

For comparison, the closest living things to us after them are tunicates like salps and sea squirts. That leaves a pretty big gap.

What amazed me is that the Russians created a funk that, despite being a rhythm created in the United States, is the sound of young people from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Even today, despite its success, funk is frowned upon by society.

Speaking of Brazilian music abroad, do you know that there is a metal band from Finland called Força Macabra? When I was younger I was surprised to know they Sing in Portuguese.

Oh, whatever Happened to Jordy?
