How a Prehistoric Fish May Explain How Animals First Walked on Earth Scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of our planet's ancient history, and a recent discovery in Antarctica has shed new light on one of the most profound transformations in the evolution of life: the transition from water to land.
Researchers at Flinders University have published findings that suggest a 380 million year old fish called Koharalepis jarviki may hold the key to understanding how animals first walked on Earth.
The research team used advanced neutron imaging technology to peer inside the fossilized skull and braincase of Koharalepis jarviki.
