"The notion that arthropods and chordates have the same gross architecture but are upside-down versions of each other had been proposed in 1822 by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire based on anatomical similarities alone [1711], but his idea was ridiculed at the time. Now, 170 years later, he has been gloriously vindicated by molecular genetic analyses."
