Chinese jellies are known collectively in the language as ices.
However, another comparison in 2008 of 150 genes in each of 21 genera, ranging from fungi to humans but including only two species of sponge, suggested that comb jellies ( ctenophora ) are the most basal lineage of the Metazoa included in the sample.
If this is correct, either modern comb jellies developed their complex structures independently of other Metazoa, or sponges' ancestors were more complex and all known sponges are drastically simplified forms.
