Uberon Homology note : Subsequent vertebrate evolution has also involved major alterations to the pharynx;
perhaps the most notable occurred with the evolution of the gnathostomes. This involved
substantial modifications to the most anterior pharyngeal segments, with the jaw forming

apparatus, the hyoid.[well established][VHOG];
