  Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,

• 00:18

  a weekly podcast coming to you from four undisclosed locations in the UK.

• 00:22

  My name is Dan Schreiber, I am sitting here with James Harkin, Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Tyshinski,

• 00:28

  and once again we have gathered round the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order,

• 00:35

  here we go.

• 00:36

  Starting with fact number one, that is, Andy.

• 00:40

  My fact is that for years, scientists thought Starfish had no heads.

• 00:45

  It now turns out, they have no bodies.

• 00:50

  Wow.

• 00:51

  All head.

• 00:52

  Are even the arms heads?

• 00:54

  No.

• 00:54

  Yeah.

• 00:55

  I think what this shows is that it's actually quite hard to describe Starfish in terms of human anatomy.

• 01:02

  So what's the difference between head and body according to this definition?

• 01:07

  This is the result of a new study from Stanford University, and I think maybe one or two other places,

• 01:12

  and it's about the genetic code that sort of programs Starfish, because Starfish are really,

• 01:17

  really weird bodily, as in they start out with bilateral symmetry, which is what humans have,

• 01:24

  as in you've got two sides, you've got a left and a right, and it's sort of the same.

• 01:27

  You know, you're mirrored.
