We must go back

We must return to the ocean.
Accept the crab form, embrace it and all the limbs we shall gain.

Probably wrong here but if the divergence happened before gills were formed then we both evolved secondary jaws for different purposes
Also those structures seem to take up an awfully big part of the embryo if they’re going to just become the hyoid and jaw, is there a more in between shot of the embryo developing?

And now my anxiety disorder uses of all of them to gradually destroy my temporomandibular joint. Thanks, evolution!

Our inner ears used to be part of the more complex jaws of something before us, if I remember correctly. I think there’s an arrow on the image showing it. Real cool.

Because we are ugly, mutant fish.

Ugly, ugly giant bags of mostly water.

Baby humans are adorable though. Baby sharks on the other hand…

Please babe! I can change! Here’s proof!

This is something that gets examined pretty well in Your Inner Fish, particularly in the chapter named Your Inner Shark. It analyzes how the embryo develops and how the embryos are very similar to start.

That’s why I mention it!

Kind of a shame that our fish ancestors didn’t have more gills. I wonder what we’re missing. I mean, we’re obviously missing something, right?

I was going to say that I have an awesome book about this stuff, and then I saw the author of the post is the author of that book. The book is called “Your Inner Fish” and it is EXCELLENT.

The intro paleontology class I took had this for mandatory reading, definitely one of my favorite non-fiction books.
