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 ...

What is swimmer’s ear? Swimmer's ear is a redness or swelling (inflammation), irritation, or infection of your outer ear canal. The ear canal is a tube that goes from the opening of the ear to the ...

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 ...

In reptiles, this cartilage began transitioning from gills to the ear canal, ultimately forming the prominent outer ears of mammals. Evidence suggests this tissue first emerged over 400 million years ...

Gene-editing experiments indicate that cartilage in fish gills migrated into the ear canal millions of years ago during the course of our evolution. Going even further back, our outer ears may ...
