Accurately depict the evolutionary relationships among spiders, birds, porifera, homosapiens, lampreys, nematoda, tuna, clam and jellyfish by listing them in order from most closely related to most distantly related. Indicate where different types of body symmetry arise and where major evolutionary features originated in vertebrates.
