Coelacanth caught in 1974 Bony fish split their jaws into several bones and evolve lungs, fin bones, two pairs of rib bones, and opercular bones, and diverge into the actinopterygii (with ray fins) and the sarcopterygii (with fleshy, lower fins); [17] the latter transitioned from marine to freshwater habitats. Jawed fish also possess dorsal and ...
The hominoids are descendants of a common ancestor.. Homo sapiens is a distinct species of the hominid family of primates, which also includes all the great apes. [1] Over their evolutionary history, humans gradually developed traits such as bipedalism, dexterity, and complex language, [2] as well as interbreeding with other hominins (a tribe of the African hominid subfamily), [3] indicating ...
The site is called Abri de Cro-Magnon (Cro-Magnon rock shelter), now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Using three tests, researchers determined that the 780,000-year-old bones indicated that humans cooked fish before eating it, according to the study. This marks the earliest evidence that hominins ...

DNA recovered from bones discovered in 8-meter-deep cave dirt is shaking up what we know about some of the earliest modern humans.
Tiktaalik, a lobe-finned fish with some anatomical features similar to early tetrapods. It has been suggested to be a transitional species between fish and tetrapods. [81] 365 Ma Acanthostega is one of the earliest vertebrates capable of walking. [82] 363 Ma By the start of the Carboniferous Period, the Earth begins to resemble its present state.
The bones were determined to be up to 47,500 years old. Until now, the oldest Homo sapiens remains from northern central and northwestern Europe were about 40,000 years old.
