coder As science has learned over the
past 170 years, vertebrate life
on land evolved from fish that
swam in the seas of ancient
Earth. That is of course until
researchers from the New
Jersey Institute of Technology
discovered a Taiwanese
Cavefish that is capable of
walking up walls and has the
same anatomical capabilities as
an amphibian or reptile.
This is a huge discovery in
terms of evolutionary
adaptation because it can help
scientists to better understand
how land-dwelling tetrapods
evolved from prehistoric fish.
The difference between the
cavefish and other fish species
that can move on land is its
gait, which amounts to a
“robust pelvic girdle” when
climbing.
