First off, I would like to state that I am a biochemist not a biologist
and evolutionary biology is not my main field of activity. Anyway, this
brings me to my first question. I was recently on answers.yahoo and
someone asked about the origin of metamorphosis. I realized that in
this area I hadn't a clue as to the evolutionary origin of
metamorphosis in insects and other invertebrates. If anyone would be
willing to espouse knowledge on the subject please by all means
enlighten me.

Some discussion of this here:
