On symmetry and topology of organisms in macroevolution. (English) Zbl 0877.92021
Summary: An evolutionary tree of animal symmetries and topologies is reconstructed. The tree is purely hypothetical, based on the hierarchy of geometrical symmetries and homotopies. Some correlation is guessed with the real evolutionary tree.
