Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of gene-editing experiments.

All the latest science news on fish gills from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

So, if humans evolved from fish, why don't we have gills? Part of the answer is practical: Gills need to stay wet in order to work, which isn't ideal for animals that don't live underwater.

Thirteen of the eels managed to get their tails out via the gills, and nine successfully escaped. The escapees took an average of 56 seconds to fully remove themselves from the fish.

Some teenage Japanese eels have found a way to avoid becoming a fish’s next meal. Anguilla japonica eels can escape a predator’s stomach through the fish’s gills.

The genes that build the cartilage of fish gills were repurposed to build the cartilage in mammals’ outer ears ...

It’s evolutionary biology. In a fascinating new discovery, scientists have found evidence suggesting that the flexible outer part of human ears may have evolved from the gills of ancient fish.

Evolutionarily conserved molecular program used to form gills and ears.

After being swallowed alive, Japanese eels were able to escape from a predator fish’s stomach and swim to freedom through the fish’s gills, new research shows.
