The sixth sense was very popular

A recent study has found that we "breed out" from an ancestor shaped like a fish, living in the ocean 500 million years ago and being able to detect electromagnetic fields in water. This sixth sense is used to detect prey, communicate and find your way.

In an interview on the Daily Mail , scientists from Cambridge University and Cornell University in New York believe that, not only humans, but 65,000 other vertebrate species - are withdrawn from the aforementioned monsters.

More specifically, 30,000 species of which are terrestrial animals, including humans, and the remaining 30,000 species are finned fish.

The results of this shocking study will be published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications , which, on the 25th anniversary of scientists, began digging for this topic.

'This research goes straight to the big questions of evolutionary biology, especially the topic of' evolution - degeneration 'that I have been passionate about for the past 35 years , ' said Professor Willy Bemis, the Department of Evolutionary Biology. Cornell University, the study author said.

According to Professor Bemis' explanation, hundreds of millions of years ago, there was an important split in the evolution of vertebrate plants.

One branch leads to finfish species and the other is finfish. The second branch is the ancestor of terrestrial vertebrates and some species like the Mexican fire still retain the sixth sense.

Professor Bernis and his researcher found that electrical sensing cells in finfish and salamanders develop exactly in the pattern of embryonic tissue in the skin. That means this is an ancient touch system."These two induction systems share the same evolutionary origin ," Professor Bemis said.

However, after the period of reptiles, birds and mammals have lost their sixth sense, it is no longer necessary for terrestrial life.
