The most primitive metazoan: Trichoplax. "It doesn't know its head from its ass, and actually has neither one of those sophisticated features." Interesting discussion of how evolution works by finding new uses for existing genes. (Can't remember who pointed me to this link. Bet it was drhoz.)

With orangutans facing extinction in the wild in the next ten years, the Australian Orangutan Project is working to save them. At their Web site you can donate, buy an orangutan toy, even adopt an orphaned orang (no, you don't have to bring it home, they will look after it on your behalf :-). You may also want to consider avoiding products that contain palm oil - the industry is destroying orangutan habitat.
