Who were the tribes the Lewis and Clark encountered in North Dakota? Had the Mandan and Hidatsa ever seen an African-American before? How did tribes fare in the wake of the expedition?
The flatworms, flat worms, Platyhelminthes, Plathelminthes, or platyhelminths (from the Greek ÏÎ»Î±ÏÏ, platy, meaning flat and á¼Î»Î¼Î¹Î½Ï (root: á¼Î»Î¼Î¹Î½Î¸-), helminth-, meaning worm) are a phylum of relatively simple bilaterian, unsegmented, soft-bodied invertebrates.
All the exclusively parasitic Platyhelminthes form a monophyletic group Neodermata, and it is agreed that these are descended from one small sub-group within the free-living Platyhelminthes. Hence the Turbellaria as traditionally defined are paraphyletic.he Acoelomorpha and the genus Xenoturbella were formerly included in the Turbellaria, but are no longer regarded as Platyhelminthes.
