What morphologies are more likely to appear during evolution is a central question in zoology. Here we offer novel approach this based on first developmental principles. We assumed that morphogenesis results from the genetic regulation of cell properties and behaviors (adhesion, contraction, etc.). used EmbryoMaker, general model development can simulate any gene network regulating behaviors, mechanical interactions signaling between cells arising those. created spherical initial conditions with anterior dorsal territories. performed simulations changing regulated these territories explore which may have been possible. Thus, obtained set most basic animal be developmentally possible assuming very simple induction morphogenesis. Our suggest elongation, invagination, evagination, condensation anisotropic growth morphogenetic transformations changes behaviors. also found some parallels our animals, early stages fossils attributed animals.
