Gills did not evolve into lungs. The lungs are a slightly modified flotation bladder.

yeah, sure. and the fossil record is where?
In case you've never gutted a fish, a air bladder is quite a bit different from lung material, and is located in the intestinal tract. Picture how that fish would 'breathe', LoL!

Apparently the walking catfish breathes with modified gills.
