The figure belоw shоws the evоlution of vаrious cephаlopod (squid & octopus) trаits mapped to their phylogeny. The tree at the right shows the evolution of habitat. Gray = pelagic (i.e., open water, away from the shore and from the bottom), white = demersal (i.e., just above the bottom), black = uncertain. If the ancestral habitat for the group is pelagic (i.e., gray), what is the smallest possible number of origins of pelagic habitat? (Note: look carefully at the colors of all of the tips)
