Conference paper

Abstract

According to the acousticolateralis hypothesis (Ayers 1892; Kingsbury 1895; van Bergeijk 1967), the vertebrate inner ear has its evolutionary origin in the lateral line system. The arguments for the hypothesis were based on (1) the origin of the lateralis nerves from the immediate vicinity of the eighth nerve to the inner ear, (2) the general resemblance of the sensory cells of the two systems, (3) the tendency of the canal neuromasts and inner ear to sink below the surface during ontogenetic development, and (4) the ontogenetic development of both systems from a common epibranchial thickening, or placode.
