What is primitive arthropod?

Examples of primitive arthropods might include the trilobite, thought to have made an appearance in the pre-Cambrian period about 500 million years ago. The fossil record indicates they were highly diverse with well over 10,000 species and thrived for over 250 million years, but finally going extinct around the end of the Permian period. Another great example might be the Eurypterid or sea scorpion, a paleozoic arthropod believed to predate the earliest fish. Of those still alive, the peripatus (a genus of the velvet worms) would be a serious contender, primitive in origins and considered the simplest known arthropod, a 'living fossil' dating back 570 million years and thought to be a connecting link between the arthropods and annelids (segmented round worms, like the earthworm).
