Bone marrow in boneless fish: lessons of evolution.

M Tavassoli

    Medical Hypotheses
    |May 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Marrow tissue existed before bone in ancient fish, suggesting they are independent organs that merged evolutionarily. This "matrimonial" relationship reframes bone and marrow studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Evolutionary biology
    • Comparative anatomy
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Bone and marrow are typically viewed as a single unit.
    • The evolutionary origins of this relationship are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a new framework for understanding the bone-marrow relationship.
    • To explore the evolutionary origins of marrow and its independence from bone.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of fish anatomy and evolutionary history.
    • Review of existing literature on bone and marrow development.

    Main Results:

    • Marrow tissue predates bone tissue in evolutionary history.
    • This suggests marrow and bone developed independently before merging.

    Conclusions:

    • The bone-marrow relationship is best described as "matrimonial" (independently developed and merged) rather than "patrimonial" (lineally descended).
    • This perspective offers new insights into the physiology and evolution of hemopoiesis.
