Abstract
⺠The coelacanth is the only known vertebrate with the full globin repertoire. ⺠Thus the last common ancestor of the tetrapods had eight globins. ⺠Current globin repertoires have been shaped by gene losses, but not by innovations. ⺠Gene losses may be associated with physiological adaptations. ⺠Common origin of embryonic hemoglobin α-chains.
