The first known tetrapods to emerge already display a specifically arranged limb, composed of proximal endoskeletal elements (humerus, radius and ulna) plus distal elements (wrist bones and digits). While limbs with digits have been regarded as an evolutionary novelty, part of their skeletal organization was already in place in fish fins, as the closest relatives to tetrapods, sarcopterygian fishes, possess three proximal bones and a distal endoskeletal region composed of segmented radials. Among modern lungfish, the genus Neoceratodus has retained distal radials whereas Lepidosirenids (Protopterus e Lepidosiren) have lost them. Genetic or pharmacological inactivation of Sonic Hedgehog signaling (SHH) in developing limbs and fins leads to l...
