I always used to think that lampreys were technically fish (albeit primitive
as hell ). So what disqualifies this from this category? Is it their lack of
actual backbone vertebrae substituted by cartilage? Isn't their brain
unproteced by an actual skull? And/or (less likely to me) is it because they
are jawless?
