Probably wrong here but if the divergence happened before gills were formed then we both evolved secondary jaws for different purposes
Also those structures seem to take up an awfully big part of the embryo if they’re going to just become the hyoid and jaw, is there a more in between shot of the embryo developing?
Our inner ears used to be part of the more complex jaws of something before us, if I remember correctly. I think there’s an arrow on the image showing it. Real cool.

This is something that gets examined pretty well in Your Inner Fish, particularly in the chapter named Your Inner Shark. It analyzes how the embryo develops and how the embryos are very similar to start.

I was going to say that I have an awesome book about this stuff, and then I saw the author of the post is the author of that book. The book is called “Your Inner Fish” and it is EXCELLENT.

That’s why I mention it!
Why is the shark embryo adorable and ours is not?
Because we are ugly, mutant fish.
Ugly, ugly giant bags of mostly water.
They’re a lot more similar irl than you’d expect.<img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c95ba8bf-7573-467e-878a-47adadcb93e4.jpeg">
that turtle one is cool
Baby humans are adorable though. Baby sharks on the other hand…
Doo do doo dododoo.

Excuse me, what?! Going to have to check that out ASAP.
The intro paleontology class I took had this for mandatory reading, definitely one of my favorite non-fiction books.
And now my anxiety disorder uses of all of them to gradually destroy my tooth enamel and temporomandibular joints. Thanks evolution!
Please babe! I can change! Here’s proof!
Kind of a shame that our fish ancestors didn’t have more gills. I wonder what we’re missing. I mean, we’re obviously missing something, right?
I started out as a fish, how did it end up like this?
I was only a fish… i was only a fish!! 🎶🎵
I was only a fish, now, watch me take a breath now, here we go
My need for air is killing me, and taking control…
We must go back
We must return to the ocean.
Accept the crab form, embrace it and all the limbs we shall gain.

Don’t cry, I am just a fish !
