It is worth plunging into the sea, as he encounters as he faces the forms of life, which seem out of the way alien: there are sea sponges, soft corals, and worms-serpoulids, whose bizarre bodies, intricate structure and processes similar to flowers resemble plants or even architectural forms rather than something animal. Nevertheless, all these creatures are our relatives. As equal representatives of the kingdom of animals - metazoa, they can tell a lot about the evolutionary origin of not only the human body, but also his consciousness. Trying to get used to their experience and understand what it feels like to perceive the world and interact with it as other living creatures do, Peter Godfri -Smith shows that the body that appeared more than half a billion years ago has become the very innovation that has appeared more than half a million years ago He directed life along a fundamentally different path. Clevering the occurrence of sponges, corals, shrimp, octopuses and fish during the natural selection of sponges, and then moving to land, into the world of insects, birds and primates, Metazoa overcomes the gap between reason and matter, bringing us closer to the resolution of one of the deepest philosophical Problems are problems of consciousness
