A primary school teacher once told me that if you looked behind the ears of new born babies you’d find a small curving relic scar. It’s where our gills used to be and has been passed down through the generations from when the first fish-like creatures flapped onto the land. I’m still tempted to check even now, though I’ve never found those scars…
