here's one weird discovery: acorn worms seem closer to vertebrates than the actual ancestor of vertebrates

at least scientists have claimed for centuries that amphioxus resembles the ancestor of fish (fish branched from amphioxus 600 million years ago)

acorn worm is claimed to not be chordate but instead it is hemichordate

HOWEVER acorn worm genes show it is closer to chordates than actual chordates are!
acorn worm genetics put it to fish branch of life instead of pre-fish

altough it doesnt look like a vertebrate at all
still the genes are the same

it is complete mystery

where does amphioxus stand by the genes?
it correlates closest with echinoderms like a sea urchin
