New evolutionary science genetic evidence backs up the theory that human limbs started of as gill arches of sharks, skates and rays.
Of course sharks, skates and rays are down the evolutionary ladder from other fish, and have been around for a long, long time. Gotta love when more and more evidence backs up theories again, and again, and again. Darwin would be ecstatic too find out how right he was.

Does this also mean that there is a possibility that current day "sharks, skates and rays" will evolve into humans (100 millions or whatever years from now?)
What would have human beings evolved into, by then (some say Dolphins, since the water level is rising we will learn how to live in water and evolve into Dolphins). And will we still have any "sharks, skates and rays" left by then?

That's a bit odd. I thought the line was through lobefins. I have to throw up my hands though and see what belongs in the biology forum turning up in religion. But in a country where half believe in a creation of everything a handful of millennia ago, the evilooshun debate and Darwin as an atheist Icon is probably unavoidable.
" Biologists have suggested gill arches laid the evolutionary foundation for paired fins in early fish, which later paved the way for paired limbs in mammals. " So the rays and sharks are along the line from the worm with a backbone to fins turning into lobes.
It is early days yet. The gene may be related or the same gene used for a different function.

No. Evolution is a lie. Millions of American Christians can't be wrong.

Who knows where evolution will go? They have stayed as they are where they are well suited to their environment. It is where it changes that there are extinctions and they either produce an adaptation that will survive or that particular line will go extinct, while the others carry on as usual. Right up to the present. I might say that I detect a glimpse of the fallacy of an intended evolutionary Result implicit there. There is no reason why any evolution should result in humans. It was only a series of accidents that resulted in us.

Evolution as the mechanism of diversity is on solid evidentiary ground, but the "accident" plus survival and reproduction success meme exceeds the evidence. It is change (however sourced) plus survival and reproduction success. Our ignorance about the Source of the change does not equal accidental.
