Original title: Major discovery! "From fish to humans" has key evidence: Chinese scientists have confirmed that humans evolved from fish, and the evolution process took nearly 500 million years. They have experienced the earliest jawless evolution into jawed and flesh-finned fish, and then landed on land and turned into amphibians and mammals, and finally evolved into humans.
According to CCTV.com , the scientific research team led by Zhu Min, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, after years of field investigation and research, revealed important information on the origin and early evolution of jawed vertebrates, and made important breakthroughs in the field of "from fish to humans".
It is understood that Chinese scientific researchers found the world's oldest jaw-like tooth fossil fossils in the Chongqing Special Buried Fossil Library and Guizhou Shiqian Fossil Library, and discovered a batch of ancient fish fossils such as the oldest jaw-like miracle Xiushan fish, revealing the rise of jaw-like vertebrates.
, including humans, 99.8% of vertebrates existing on Earth have jaw bones, collectively known as jawed vertebrates or jawed species. The emergence and rise of jaws is one of the most critical leaps in the history of vertebrate evolution from "fish to humans".
Zhu Min said that Chongqing's special buried fossil library is another world-class special buried fossil library discovered in my country after Chengjiang Biota and Rehe Biota, which provides a large amount of key evidence for exploring the evolution of the Tree of Life.
It confirms that as late as 440 million years ago, various major groups of jaws have flourished in my country's South China region. to the late Silurian period, more diverse and larger jaw species appeared and began to spread to the world, starting the process of fish landing and eventually evolving into humans.
