Embryologists have made this fact most vivid, by showing that the individual animal develops along a path the stations of which correspond to some extent with the steps of ancestral history. (1) The simplest animals are single cells (Protozoa). (2) The next simplest are balls of cells ( Volvox). (3) The next simplest are two- layered sacs of cells ( Hydra). (1) The first stage of development is a single cell (fertilised ovum). (2) The next is a ball of cells (blastula or morula). (3) The next is a two-layered sac of cells (gastrula)..
