- Evolution of the structure and function of the vertebrate tongue
This review examines the fundamental importance of morphology in the evolution of the vertebrate tongue, focusing on the origin of the tongue and on the relationship between morphology and environmental conditions
- How the tongue shaped life on Earth - Science | AAAS
Tongue evolution helped reptiles and amphibians capture animal prey, but in birds, some of the most outlandish tongue adaptations reflect a taste for plants Most avian tongues are a stiff sliver of keratin (think fingernails) or bone, with little muscle or other living tissue
- Evolutionary Specialization of the Tongue in Vertebrates . . . - Springer
The tongue evolved by elaboration of hypoglossal muscles associated with the hyoid and two or three branchial arches (Kallius 1901; Nishikawa and Schwenk 2002) The tongue is also recognizable as a fold from the floor of the mouth between the hyoid and mandibular arches in fishes (Starck 1982; Romer and Parsons 1986) However, this fish tongue
- The Evolution of Human Speech - JSTOR
Human speech involves species-specific anatomy deriving from the descent of the tongue into the pharynx The human tongue’s shape and position yields the 1:1 oral-to-pharyngeal proportions of the supralaryngeal vocal tract
