Human embryos develop gill slits, but then development stops and gills never become fully developed. Even if we still possess the genes that encode fully developed gills, they may have degenerated. Thanks for using ChaCha!

About Gills
Gills are what fish use to breath underwater. They pull dissolved oxygen out of the water the same way we pull oxygen out of the air.
