Amongst the living the most primitive vertebrate is the Hagfish.

the monkeys
Fish
No. The 1st vertebrates appeared in the fossil record about 525 million years ago during the Cambrian Period. This was in the Paleozoic Era.
Dinosaurs
fish
The phylum Chordata is most closely related phylogenetically to the first vertebrates. Chordates share a number of characteristics with vertebrates, such as having a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits. Cells within the notochord further develop into the vertebrae that define vertebrates.
jawless fishes
No, the first vertebrates evolved long before the Mesozoic. The first vertebrates, small jawless fish, evolved around 520 million years ago. Land animals had even evolved long before the Mesozoic Era.
Vertebrates came first... all of those other creatures are vertebrates.. prior to the evolution of the spine (vertebrae) there were no fish, reptiles, mammals birds... nothing like them..
Chordates are not vertebrates because although some vertebrates are chordates theres many reasons why chordates arent vertebrates.the first reason is because chordates consist of a notochord or a dorsal nerve.
Yes, African clawed frogs are vertebrates. It was actually the first vertebrate to be cloned. The African clawed frog's front legs are small with unwebbed fingers.
