Researchers at the University of Chicago observed an African lungfish using its pelvic fins ...
This can't be new ... I read about this 50 years ago.
Gotta' be about the grant money.

They’re sooooooo confused. Bet God is laughing!!

I thought “evolutionary history” was “settled.” I was under the impression that evolution represented a “scientific consensus” and, for that reason, anyone who questioned it was a crank.

looks to me like a salamander that is de-evolving.

We had an African lungfish in our home aquarium for about 8 years. It was a great fish. He definitely got people's attention when they came over to out house. He'd go to the surface and take a huge breath every so often and yes, he'd use his pectoral ‘fins’ to move around and to ‘stand’ vertically in the tank. Powerful jaws. He could crush a snail into a paste without effort. He grew to well over two feet long and when he died we had a difficult time lifting him out of the tank (it took two people). We made a plaster cast of him, but have never gotten around to making a mold.

But regarding the scientific study referenced here, whatever Mr. Scientist. Get your grant money and pretend to work.

before creatures grew toes or limbs necessary to move on land—

Well, then, there is hope scientists will grow another brain - the current one is contaminated by deception.

Take a look at Joy Behar, and then take a look at a Sea Cucumber. Evolution? They’re the same thing.

The result of lung fish development is that this trait of under water walking expressed itself in humans wearing heavy suits to walk around under water.
But strong evolutionary pressure made them develop into aqua lung fish and they lost the ability to walk under water but gained the ability walk freely on land wearing their gear.
At the same time they developed fins and began to swim in packs. Today some humans are known as Finns and have a desire to eat fish, obviously an inherited characteristic.
