During their embryonic development, all chordates pass through a stage called the pharyngula [View] with these features: ...
Chordata: A major phylum in the Kingdom Animalia. A chordate is characterized by the presence of a dorsal notochord at some stage of development and a dorsal hollow nerve chord.
Phylum Chordata
The phylum to which we belong is Chordata. There are invertebrate members of this phylum as well as vertebrates. They are all bilaterally symmetrical with some degree of segmentation and they have an internal skeleton.
Chordata A phylum of animals whose members are characterized by a notochord, pharyngeal gill slits, a dorsal tubular nerve cord, and a postanal tail.

WHY DO SCIENTISTS THINK YOU ARE HUMAN?
We don't care what people say about you, we know that you are human. But then again, we're scientists.
The Phylum Chordata includes about 45,000 species that occupy nearly all environments. All chordates at sometime during their life history have: ...
The first organ is the tongue which is only present in the phylum Chordata.
The second organ is the oesophagus. The crop is an enlargement of the oesophagus in birds, insects and other invertebrates that is used to store food temporarily.
The Burgess deposits also yielded the oldest representative of the phylum Chordata, a small fossil known as Pikaia. Most specimens of Pikaia are between one and one and a half inches long.
chordata - having a notochord or "back-string"] The cellular layer laid down during gastrulation which becomes the prechordal plate, notochord, and dorsal mesoderm of embryo.
In addition to these, the deuterostomes also include the Hemichordata or acorn worms. Although they are not especially prominent today, the important fossil graptolites may belong to this group.
Salps. A group of pelagic tunicates (phylum Urochordata), either colonial or solitary, with buccal and atrial siphons on opposite sides of the body ...
Animals with a backbone belong to the Chordata Phylum. It is important for you to know that some members of this phylum do not have a backbone. However, they do have a strengthening rod similar to a backbone.
