This project investigates the evolution of jaws and teeth in vertebrates, focusing on early jawed fish. It employs advanced imaging techniques to analyze fossil data, aiming to uncover the developmental history of these critical structures.
The emergence of jawed vertebrates (gnathostomes) is a pivotal event in vertebrate evolution, based on the evolution of jaws with teeth.
This was thought to represent a key vertebrate innovation, allowing jawed vertebrates to outcompete their jawless rivals.
Recent discoveries however, shed a different light on the evolution of teeth and jaws. i) tooth-like structures were found on gill arches in a primitive jawless vertebrate, indicating that teeth evolved prior to jaws. ii) the first jawed ver…
