Ancient fish fossils with preserved muscle tissue offer a glimpse at how necks evolved in early vertebrate animals. The fossils also offer a puzzle: The fish had specialized abdominal muscles found ...
People traditionally think that lungs and limbs are key innovations that came with the vertebrate transition from water to land. But in fact, the genetic basis of air-breathing and limb movement was ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Primitive fish already may have possessed the genetic wiring needed to grow hands and feet well before the appearance of the first animals with limbs roughly 365 million years ...

Teeth and hard structures called dermal odontodes are evolutionarily related, arising from the same developmental system, a new study shows. Teeth and hard structures called dermal odontodes are ...
State fish biologists were looking for Asian carp. What they found, last week in the North Shore Channel in Lincolnwood, was something much better: a spotted gar, an ancient fish that has never before ...
Researchers have found the first small finger-like bones in the fins of a fish that lived 380 million years ago, about 15 million years before the first four-footed creatures, called tetrapods, ...
