 A complete specimen of the animal has since been found in the same formation.It has been proposed, by the palaeontologist Richard Cloutier at Université du Québec à Rimouski, that this species may dethrone its close relative "Tiktaalik" in the position of the most primitive stem-tetrapod, though phylogenetic analyses have shown them to be very close relatives.The fossil suggests that human hands likely evolved, eventually, from the fins of this fish, according to Cloutier, who claimed "It is the first time that digits, as seen in tetrapods, are found in a fin covered by scales and fin rays, as seen in fishes."
