Artificial gills are hypothetical devices to allow a human to be able to take in oxygen from surrounding water. This is speculative technology that has not yet been demonstrated. Natural gills work because most animals with gills are thermoconformers (cold-blooded), so they need much less oxygen than a thermoregulator (warm
A Business Insider video about preauricular sinus points out that evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin suspects "these holes could be evolutionary remnant of fish gills."
The muscles connected to the ears of a human do not develop enough to have the same mobility allowed to monkeys. Arrows show the vestigial structure called Darwin's tubercle. In the context of human evolution, vestigiality involves those traits occurring in humans that have lost all or most of their original function through evolution. Although ...
Artificial gills may refer to: Imitation gills put into stuffed fish for the sake of appearance in taxidermy; An inaccurate term for liquid breathing sets; Artificial gills (human), which extract oxygen from water to supply a human diver
Humans have many wonderful qualities, but we lack something that’s a common feature among most animals with backbones: a tail. Exactly why that is has been something of a mystery.
A chordate (/ ˈ k ɔːr d eɪ t / KOR-dayt) is a deuterostomal bilaterian animal belonging to the phylum Chordata (/ k ɔːr ˈ d eɪ t ə / kor-DAY-tə).All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other taxa.
[164] [166] [167] Humans and their livestock make up more than 90% of the biomass of all terrestrial vertebrates, and almost as much as all insects combined. [ 168 ] Invertebrates including cephalopods , crustaceans , insects —principally bees and silkworms —and bivalve or gastropod molluscs are hunted or farmed for food, fibres.
Triton, "the world's first artificial gills technology" is a Swedish and Korean organization that claims they have created artificial gills for humans. [1] Released as an Indiegogo project on March 14, 2016, this technology claims to allow divers to spend 45 minutes underwater at depths of less than 15 feet.
