The human parathyroid gland, which regulates the level of calcium in the blood, probably evolved from the gills of fish, according to researchers from King's College London.Probably? Probably? I don't understand. We KNOW how all this happened. Evolution is a FACT. We've been told this again and again. I am sure any good biology book explains how we went from the primordial slime through each step to what we are now. Why can't they just look it up?

May I recommend a Good Book on the subject? The truth of the first two chapters will rid you of the unknown, as defined by your word 'probably', and set you free.

I am created in the image of God. And I'm pretty sure God's not a fish.

Cuckatoo's Plume Probably Evolved From Goofy Finch at My Birdfeeder. See photo below of finch with plume for proof of this evolutionary transition.

Okay, I'll play. My spleen is a remnant of the air bladder. Thats why I can live without if I get in a car accident.

'This interpretation would also explain why the parathyroid gland is positioned in the neck. If the gland had emerged from scratch when tetrapods evolved it could, as an endocrine organ, have been placed anywhere in the body and still exert its effect.' The researchers supported their theory by carrying out experiments that show that the parathyroid glands of mice and chickens and the gills of zebrafish and dogfish contain many similarities. And there you have it.
Funny what passes as science these days.

I submit Fish. Obvious that he still has some ways to go yet.

It's an epiphany! Why could I have not seen this before! Of course there is a relation between having a human internal parathyroid gland and a fish's gills sucking in calcium from the surrounding water! The relationship is so obvious, logical, and conclusive. But it took a "scientist" at a "college" to finally figure it out!
Seriously - I cannot believe these people get paid for producing such drivel. And then they receive accolades for it!
