Scientists today announced that they have made one of the greatest discoveries about life on Earth. According to the study, signed by scientists at Curtin University and published in the journal Science the world’s oldest heart fossil brought to light. The age of the fossil, which has been determined to be extremely well preserved to this day 380 million years was determined as.

According to the shared information, the 380-million-year-old heart was the heart of an ancient fish. with this heart fossilized stomach, intestines and liver of the fish brought to light. In addition, the discovered fossils also provided important information about the history of evolution.

Here is the oldest heart in the world:

Kate Trinajstic, the head of the study, shared in her statement that the fossils discovered belong to the jawless and jawless vertebrates. indicates a greater evolutionary leap. stated. Kate said the hearts of these fish are literally in their mouths and under their gills. This is also the case with sharks today.

However, the fish had a large liver and it was just like sharks today. to keep them upright specified. Fish, the bony fish of today are not fossil fish at the same time, but only later. that they evolved independently of these fishes showed. Because scientists couldn’t find a trace of lungs in any of the extinct fish they examined. Lungfish lungs were thought to have evolved from fish swim bladders.
