AbstractIn 1828, von Baer proposed that the early stages of development must be the most conserved [1]. Others have since countered that the middle stages of development are the most conserved [2]. To address whether the earliest step in pattern formation can evolve, we have examined how asymmetry along the antero–posterior (AP) axis is generated in various nematode species. AP asymmetry is specified in Caenorhabditis elegans at fertilization by the sperm, which directs a cytoplasmic rearrangement that segregates critical factors such as the P granules to one side of the uncleaved embryo [3,4]. We found that AP asymmetry is generated differently in another nematode species: the sperm is not used to specify AP asymmetry, there are no signs o...
