"Do you mean that the human fetus does not develop gills at some point during the pre natal cycle?"

Ok, I will include you with Z. No, they aren't gills, although they closely resemble them. This is something that has been recognized since the early 1900's, although it apparently is still taught in highschool. Like we were winning in Vietnam.


So what is the theory then? Do these gill like features develop because certain parts of the human genome is common to all animals but then as the fetus develops, dna peculiar to humans takes over and 'uncreates' the gill like features?
