Editor’s summary
The great American palaeontologist and anatomist Alfred Romer speculated that early in animal life, an emerging somatic nervous system, focused on the outside world, struggled to dominate the visceral nervous system that takes care of the internal systems that keep us alive. Jean-François Brunet and colleagues identify the molecular signatures that tell the evolutionary tale of this duality.
