Invertebrate is a term coined by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck to describe any animal without a spinal column. It therefore includes all animals except those in the subphylum Vertebrata (fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals).
Lamarck divided these animals into two groups, the Insecta and the Vermes, but now, they are classified into over 30 phyla, from simple organisms such as sponges and flatworms to complex animals such as arthropods and mollusks.
Since invertebrates include all animals except a certain group, invertebrates form a paraphyletic group, but, despite not forming a "natural group" (that is, monophyletic), "invertebrate" is still a widely used term. Invertebrates include 97% of all animal species.
