The ancestor of all creatures with jaws and a backbone was not a sleek, shark-like beast but a toothless, armoured fish, say researchers, in a finding that rewrites human evolutionary history.

....

The researchers report their discovery of a 419-million-year-old fish fossil in China, which they say disproves the long-held theory that modern animals with bony skeletons (osteichthyans) evolved from a shark-like creature with a frame made of cartilage.
