          Scientists have unlocked the DNA of a "living fossil" and are gaining information on how our animals have changed over the years. In 1938 a African fisher caught a fish that looks like likes its ancestor from millions of years ago. The scientists say it hasn't changed very much since its ancestor lived 300 million years ago. I think this is important because scientists are discovering how animals changed and might be able to bring back the first animals. I also think this is important because if this fish looks so much like its ancestor, there might be other animals that look like there ancestors and scientists might get more DNA.
