The suit, which was drafted by the Reparations Committee for African Americans, sought more than $100 million...
...long animal that flourished in the Cambrian oceans 525 million years ago. From its flexible but sturdy spinal rod, the scientists deduced that this animal - dubbed Yunnanozoon lividum, after the Chinese province in which it was found - was a primitive chordate, the oldest ancestor yet discovered of the vertebrate branch of the animal kingdom, which includes Homo sapiens...
