Once again, I would ask that you present contrarian evidence. You
certainly have a right to question things but it seems rather odd that you
don't present any evidence to counter my data. Merely saying that this is
restricted to a small set of lineages without showing data for the other
lineages doesn't seem very useful.

And I would also point out that even if your objection is true, that this
is restricted to one lineage--the chordata--then my point is still proved.
The complexity of chordates has increased through out time. The agnatha
were estimated to have had only 64 cell types--their descendants, man, has
around 210. And since we humans are among the most complex of beings on the
surface of the earth, and we just recently evolved, it further supports the
concept that complexity has increased over time.
