[edit] Taxonomy and Phylogeny

Something's not right here. The acanthodians were the very first gnathostomes, and the placoderms came later. Why are the very first gnathostomes (the acanthodians) grouped in an advanced group of gnathostome (Teleostomi, in Eugnathostomata) when the placoderms (not being to first gnathostomes) not being grouped in "Eugnathostomata" (which I don't believe exists).

OK, what I said is old an absurd. There could be a possible common ancestor between the placoderms and the teleostomes. Giant Blue Anteater 20:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
