When Fish First Breathed Air

The video explores the transition of life from water to land, focusing on early vertebrates during the Devonian period. It highlights key fossil discoveries like Tiktaalik and their significance in understanding evolutionary adaptations, particularly the development of air-breathing capabilities. Environmental changes, such as declining ocean oxygen levels, pressured these adaptations. The video concludes with the evolutionary legacy seen in modern air-breathing fish.
