(Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Evidence for the existence of sharks dates from 450–420 million years ago, before land vertebrates existed and before many plants had colonized the continents.Since then, sharks have diversified into over 500 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches
approximately 12 metres (40 ft) in length.
The first fish appeared around 510 million years ago.These were armored jawless fishes known as ostracoderms. And then came the sharks either 455 or 425 million years ago. Dinosaurs didn’t appear until about 230 million years ago. Mammals first appeared around that same time. The first human-like animal, or hominid, dates to about 4.5 million years ago, but modern humans only date back perhaps 60,000 years. And recorded civilization has lasted only about 5,000 years. That means sharks have existed 100 times longer than hominids and 3 times longer than dinosaurs (or twice as long as dinosaurs if we include birds).
Sharks are some of the legendary animals to have existed on Earth.They saw the vicious aquatic reptiles like pliosaurs and mosasaurs and going on to become the "apex predators" of the world's oceans.The earliest sharks were small and also the most weird looking. Over time,some of the sharks became bigger.Especially one shark,Carcharocles megalodon which became more massive and a fearsome killing machine.It was the most powerful predator that the world have ever seen.

Helicorpion and Parahelicorpion are not sharks. They are holocephalians, which puts them closer to ratfish.
