That remark is rather unfair. First, there was no theory of evolution in Linnaeus' days, so he couldn't have known whether or not these animals wererelated. Today we explain their superficial similarities by shared archaisms; Linnaeus, who must have implicitly assumed that all animals came about at roughly the same time, surely had no such notion. Second, the group may have been rather diverse, but think about how diverse the other classes were.Mammalia contained animals as seemingly unrelated as shrews, whales, and horses,Amphibia contained snakes, turtles, and frogs (which, of course, was also wrong, but that's not the point). All together, I think it's wrong to call Linnaeus' Vermes a wastebasket taxon, because he had grounded reasons to have it that way and did not do it for the sake of convenience.Steinbach (talk)11:34, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
