Your Outer Ear Used To Be A Bit Of Respiratory EquipmentThis made us wonder whether the cartilaginous outer ear may also have arisen from some ancestral fish structure.” Pull your ear forward and it’ll ping back, thanks to the elastic cartilage it ...
A new study describes a type of cartilage that may have been discovered, forgotten and found again at several points in history.
This suggests that the outer ear evolved from cartilaginous gills, with the first elastic cartilage possibly arising in ancient marine invertebrates. This summary was automatically generated using ...
The scientists were able to incorporate enhancers that help form the elastic cartilage of the human outer ear into the genomes of zebrafish . Remarkably, the human outer ear enhancers were active ...
