Researchers in Japan have discovered a bizarre new species of worm that lacks a number of internal features common to other animals, including an anus. The scientists believe that this latest finding could surely shed light on the origin of animals' complex internal body parts. This latest study was published the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology (https://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-017-1080-2).
