Evolution of jaws from branchial arches 1. Early vertebrate: unjointed branchial basket (support structure) 2. Early pre-gnathostome: jointed branchial arches, stronger branchial muscles (stronger inspiration and expiration) 3. Late pre-gnathostome: extensive development of anterior (mouth) arches 4. Anteriormost arches as functional jaws (grasping prey and other items), second arches (hyoid) as jaw supports
