You don't have gills. You breathe through the umbilical cord. But, I've ALWAYS dreamed of having gills. :D

You don't breath at all. The reason born humans breath is in order to produce oxygenated blood. Fetus just receive the blood through the umbilical cord from their mother. A baby does not breathe till they are born. They also don't have gills.

One of the stages of embryological growth involves the formation of pharangeal gill pouches. Human embryos just lose them in the course of development. Wiki it

No those are skin flaps. We don't have the DNA for gills

It's not particularly DNA coding for gills you should be looking out for, it's just a stage in embryological development... Humans diverged from those rudimentary stages through the course of evolution, other organisms did not. Like what Ohaai said

Also, I find the confidence with which you reported that inaccurate information amusing...

You're right.

I would go look up a journal article and cite it, but firstly, I cbf, and secondly, you probably wouldn't understand it

Yeah, I know you don't "breathe." Per say. :) I was just letting everyone know that you "breathe" through the umbilical cord and placenta (as in you receive oxygenated blood cells) because it is technically the same thing. I didn't mean that the baby is breathing through it like it's a snorkel. :D

@604154 (mouse4216): @603857 (bluegoddess100): Actualy, we do have gills when we are fetus's, it was part of our evolution, we just lose them really early on. Just like we also don't have fingers, our hands are more like mittens, and then the cells inbetween begin to die, thus fingers.

Not true. Humans do not have gills in utero. If you could show me any references that prove your point, I'd appreciate it. There are a bunch online that say they have gills, but it is always under Yahoo!Answers or WikiAnswers or sources like that. But, if you look under Biological Theses, you can find some that prove my point. For example: http://creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j18_1/j18_1_71-75.pdf

Your first reference proves my point. They don't have gills, they have 'gill slits' that aren't used for breathing or anything. Your second one has NOTHING to do with what we are talking about except for the fact that it mentions gills. It refers to how, during fetal development, an animal will either gain gills or not depending on whether it will be an air-breather or water-breather.

No gills but we had a tail! It starts disappearing around the 5th/6th week pregnancy so there's no way you can be born with it.
