Introduction

The evolution of sharks has been long and complex, beginning between 400 and 500 million years ago and spanning multiple mass extinctions to bring us today’s modern sharks. Sharks have evolved a wide variety of fascinating traits that have allowed them to remain as apex predators of the ocean. These physical adaptations have increased their fitness, allowing them to survive and reproduce at greater rates.
