Three hundred and nine million years ago, creatures at the edge of land and water were already experimenting with life in ways we had not imagined. Newly discovered Carboniferous fossils suggest that some early tetrapods hatched as miniature adults, bypassing the aquatic larval stage long assumed universal among their kind. The discovery does not merely correct a detail in the fossil record — it invites us to reconsider the very nature of evolution's great transition from sea to shore, reminding us that life rarely takes a single road when many are available.
