New analysis of an Acanthodes braincase forces a reappraisal of the phylogeny of gnathosomes, suggesting that the vertebrate head underwent reorganization not only before the emergence of jaws, but also afterwards. The acanthodians, a long-extinct group of fish that thrived during the Palaeozoic era, more than 420 million years ago, are central to our understanding of the origin of modern gnathostomes, the jawed vertebrates.
