oh god don't talk about tailbones... you're making mine hurt.
​
dinoflagelates?
coral?
i think the idea of having a backbone demands a tail. it's an extension and a stabilizer. those of us who have inutile tailbones have simply lost our need for stabilization (ground dwelling apes etc).

Re: Let me refine
i think you're missing my point. tails are backbones. period.
part of being a spinal critter means having a head and a postanal tail. that's what it means.
