Origin of Jaws

Can you imagine if we did not have jaws? We would never be able to talk - yak yak yak..

And now scientists have discovered the beginnings of the evolution of our jaws. In China, they have discovered the fossils of a fish, the first vertebrate with jaws, that lived more than 400 million years ago.
