Distant Human Ancestor Had Shark Head
Well I guess we can stop digging into Rmoney's ancestry now. 
Peer far enough back in the human family lineage, and you'll find a fishy ancestor that looked surprisingly like a shark.
In fact, this now-extinct fish was among the first to split from sharks, whose bones are made of cartilage, to evolve into a line of tough-boned species that includes everything from bony fish to human beings. A new analysis finds that this controversial class of animals was more shark-like than expected.
