The Discovery of the "Missing Link"

Hi! Today we’ll be covering the discovery of Tiktaalik, which was a huge find for the vertebrate transition to land. Tiktaalik, on its own, is really cool, and has features that really make it appear to be a “half and half” — half fish half tetrapod. But the discovery of it is even cooler. It’s actually one of the coolest things I learned in college. So I’m going to share it with you. I’ll give you a quick rundown of the vertebrate transition to land, and introduce you to this fossil that changed everything.


A MASSIVE thanks to Gian for the editing!
