craniates

Brains don't normally fossilize, but we know that human brains fit the nested hierarchy, that human brains are comprised of modifications of structures found in related organisms, that craniates follow a long, diversifying path of evolutionary history, and that humans are derived hominids.

But you might very well see terrestrial craniates.

Clearly we mammals and the sauropsids are all craniates.

The Panda's Thumb: Pete Dunkelberg Archives 2010

In craniates, both the evolutionary novelty of hemoglobin and the heart significantly increase the efficiency of gaseous transactions in the body, which is linked to the characteristic high mobility and levels of activity in craniates.

Tunicates (Urochordata) do not have a closed circulatory system, only craniates have the first epithelial ducts that transport oxygen to the locomotion and digestive system-related muscles.
