Abstract
A prima facie challenge Valentine’s wonderfully rich though somewhat quirky Origins of Phyla includes a discussion of the cellular diversity of the various metazoan phyla, cells after all being the essential building blocks from which organisms are constructed. Table 8.1 lists his estimate of the cell-level diversity of some of the better-known phyla (Valentine 2004).
