Because some of the ear’s structure involves bones, much of the evolution of the ear can be followed through the fossil record. The evolution of the mammalian ear is well documented and makes a nice ...

The development of the mammalian middle ear is a two-step process. First, the future Eustachian tube, which connects the ear to the throat, ruptures. This allows the inclusion of the middle ear ...
