One of the earliest land walking vertebrates has been found in the fossil record. Part of the family of Tetrapods (large salamander-like amphibians), it lived some 350 million years ago. This organism truly serves as a demarcation between aquatic and terrestrial tetrapods and may be a direct ancestor of all land-dwelling vertebrates including us.This will be my first topic of choice next time I'm trying to get some digits! I'm definetly gonna score with this one!
