Caminalcules are a fictive group of animal-like life forms, which were created as a tool for better understanding phylogenetics in real organisms. They were created by Joseph H. Camin (University of Kansas) and consist of 29 living 'species' and 48 fossil forms. The name of the taxon Caminalcules seems to come from Camin's last name and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek's animalcules.
