一 | Researchers from China and the UK have solved the mystery surrounding Saccorhytus coronaries – a millimeter-long spiny creature that was found in 2017 and believed to have inhabited oceans 500 million years ago. The veil of mystery over the critter persisted for years, as the scientists could not locate the creature’s anus. Turns out – they should not have even tried.,The critter was originally determined to be a member of a deuterostomes group of animals - the ancestors to the modern vertebrates (including humans). However, scientists' latest research suggests that it actually belongs to another group called ecdysozoans – the predecessors of the modern spiders and various insects. As it turned out, the whole mishap happened over the creature's anus – or rather lack thereof.,Ecdysozoans normally have an anus and hence the critter was initially ruled not to belong to them. But, upon closer discovery using x-rays, scientists saw it resembles ecdysozoans internally more than the ancestors of the vertebrates.,Like them, Saccorhytus has a large mouth and also features tiny holes around it that served as bases for spines that kept the critter anchored in one place. Those holes also served as a source of confusion as they were originally believed to be gills – another mark of the proto-vertebrates.,'Ugliest I've Ever Seen': Fisherman Shares Pic of Mysterious Creature He Found in Australia29 June, 13:17 GMT,As to Saccorhytus' absence of anus, scientists are yet to find out what happened to it. One theory suggests that there was an even earlier representative of ecdysozoans that has not been discovered, but did not have an anus.,Another theory goes that Saccorhytus did not actually need one.,"It could be that it lost it during its own evolution - perhaps it didn't need one because it could just sit in one spot with one opening for everything," Emily Carlisle, one of the researchers, said.。

二 | After serving more than a month of in-school suspension over his dreadlocks, a Black student in Texas was told he will be removed from his high school and sent to a disciplinary alternative education program on Thursday.Darryl George, 18, is a junior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu and has been suspended since Aug. 31. He will be sent to EPIC, an alternative school program, from Oct. 12 through Nov. 29 for “failure to comply” with multiple campus and classroom regulations, the principal said in a Wednesday letter provided to The Associated Press by the family.Principal Lance Murphy wrote that George has repeatedly violated the district's “previously communicated standards of student conduct." The letter also says that George will be allowed to return to regular classroom instruction on Nov. 30 but will not be allowed to return to his high school's campus until then unless he's there to discuss his conduct with school administrators.Barbers Hill Independent School District prohibits male students from having hair extending below the eyebrows, ear lobes or top of a T-shirt collar, according to the student handbook. Additionally, hair on all students must be clean, well-groomed, geometrical and not an unnatural color or variation. The school does not require uniforms.George's mother, Darresha George, and the family's attorney deny the teenager's hairstyle violates the dress code. The family last month filed a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency and a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state’s governor and attorney general, alleging they failed to enforce a new law outlawing discrimination based on hairstyles. The family alleges George's suspension and subsequent discipline violate the state’s CROWN Act, which took effect Sept. 1. The law, an acronym for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is intended to prohibit race-based hair discrimination and bars employers and schools from penalizing people because of hair texture or protective hairstyles including Afros, braids, dreadlocks, twists or Bantu knots. A federal version passed in the U.S. House last year, but was not successful in the Senate.The school district also filed a lawsuit in state district court asking a judge to clarify whether its dress code restrictions limiting student hair length for boys violates the CROWN Act. The lawsuit was filed in Chambers County, east of Houston.George’s school previously clashed with two other Black male students over the dress code. Barbers Hill officials told cousins De’Andre Arnold and Kaden Bradford they had to cut their dreadlocks in 2020. Their families sued the district in May 2020, and a federal judge later ruled the district’s hair policy was discriminatory. Their pending case helped spur Texas lawmakers to approve the state’s CROWN Act. Both students withdrew from the school, with Bradford returning after the judge’s ruling. ___AP journalist Juan Lozano contributed to this report from Houston.___The Associated Press education team receives support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
