This 380-million-year-old Antarctic fossil fish may explain how life first crawled onto land
Antarctic fish fossils are shedding light on early animal evolution, specifically the transition to land. A remarkably preserved skull of *Koharalepis jarviki*, from the Devonian period, reveals adaptations for shallow water life, including advanced senses and early air-breathing capabilities. This discovery offers crucial insights into the era preceding terrestrial animal colonization.
