Team suggest discovery will shed light on the evolution of the human body
The scientists who made the discovery talked about how evolution is a series of small steps. Since the heart and other organs of the fish are more than 380 million years old, this can shed light on the evolution and answer many unanswered questions.

Scientists find the world's oldest heart, which dates back to 380 million years ago. (Image via WILLIAM WEST / AFP via Getty Images) Professor Kate Trinajstic, who led the study, said:
“These fish literally have their hearts in their mouths and under their gills - just like sharks today.” The scientists also talked about how they feel they have made the biggest discovery of their lives. Speaking about the whole experience, the scientist said: "We were crowded around the computer and recognised that we had a heart and pretty much couldn't believe it!

The scientists also talked about how well-preserved the soft tissues of the fish were. Trinajstic, the lead scientist, revealed:
“As a palaeontologist who has studied fossils for more than 20 years, I was truly amazed to find a 3D and beautifully preserved heart in a 380-million-year-old ancestor.”

Being almost 50 cm in length, the species before the gogo fish were no longer than 30 cm. Gogo fish lived on Earth for about 100 million years before the first dinosaurs came into existence. Moreover, scientists claim that this was the first ever fish species to have jaws and teeth.

These species were named after the Devonian Gogo formations, which were part of a reef about 360 to 430 million years ago. The gogo fish remains were found by Australian scientists, who believe this can be the key to many unanswered questions about evolution. (Image via The Science Journal)
Talking about the heart found under the reef, it had two chambers, one on top of each other.

The researchers also made an important observation that the heart was much more forward in the body than those of the more primitive fish.
