Strausfeld et al . (Report, 24 Nov 2022, p. 905) claim that Cambrian fossilized nervous tissue supports the interpretation that the ancestral panarthropod brain was tripartite and unsegmented. We argue that this conclusion is unsupported, and developmental data from living onychophorans contradict it.
