A recent study suggests that early tetrapods, which began to transition to land over 300 million years ago, did not develop through a tadpole stage as previously assumed. The research, led by scientists at the Field Museum, focused on embolomers, an extinct group of large predators, and indicates that early tetrapods may have had a different life cycle than modern amphibians.
