First Genetic Link Between Reptile And Human Heart Evolution Found

Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease have discovered the first genetic link to the evolution of two, rather than one, pumping chamber in the heart, which is a key event in the evolution of becoming warm-blooded. picked by bernardblack 3 months ago

It's quite fascinating what they were able to find about that gene, and how they might be able to fix these heart conditions.

That being said, there's some strange translation from scientists to the article...

"How did hearts evolve from three to four chambers?" Bruneau said.

Here he's assuming, that 4-chamber hearts evolved from 3-chambered hearts. That's just not necessarily the case. Chances are, humans did not evolve from any reptile.

The way evolution works, hearts simply evolved multiple times in various different species of animals. As amazing as that is, isn't it normal that it'd be slightly different in each?
