Description: [From the text] Tonight I am going to tell you about my research on a another mollusc, the humble abalone. - In contrast with the highly evolved squid, this marine snail belonging to the ancient archeogastrod lineage which has a much simpler anatomy and lifestyle. It doesn’t posses a proper brain mass, only having 4 ganglia or nerves knots at the front end. Its two simple eye spots which detect light and dark, a tough shell and a large and extremely powerful foot muscle to adhere to rocks. This simple configuration has served well for over 100 million years.
