Summary Introduction
To determine: The three groups of adaptations that guided the vertebrate evolution and its contribution to the success of vertebrates.
Introduction: The chordates share a large number of characteristics with the deuterostomes that indicates the origin of the chordates from the deuterostomes. The features common to both deuterostomes and chordates include the presence of radial cleavage, the first embryonic opening forming the anus.
