Humans' outer ears may have evolved from the gills of prehistoric fish, a new study finds. Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of ...

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.

To investigate the fish-gill-ear question, the researchers, led by Crump’s then graduate student Mathi Thiruppathy, did some clever genetic transfer experiments. First, they put the six human ...
