Early Cnidarians:

"I'm going to be the biggest quilt-shaped bag of cells I can be!"

"I'm going to evolve special stinging cells!"

"I'm going to use epigenetics to lock my cells into lifelong somatic roles, and then they can use synaptic learning in their newly stable neural nets to develop lifelong responses from their environment, and eventually one of my descendants will invent machines that they can publish webcomics on!"
