Analysis of shark DNA has thrown a wrench into our understanding of these sharp-toothed predators March 25, 2026 Evolutionary biologists compared the DNA of different sharks to one another, and also to similar but non-shark species such as rays, skates and chimaeras.

Edit: I am now using "academic credits" to make myself more understandable to non-EU people.
