Abstract

As is well known, evolution consists of descent with modification, which implies a very important fact in the evolutionary framework: that everything new derives from something old. However, this is not so clear for certain structures, which are called true innovations; that is, they do not clearly appear from the modification of a structure that was previously present. One of these structures is the turtle shell.
