Sharks belong to a group of fish called Chondrichthyes, which also includes rays, skates, and chimaeras.
The earliest known shark-like creatures appeared around 420 million years ago, during the Silurian period.
One of the most famous extinct shark relatives is the Megalodon, which lived approximately 23 to 2.6 million years ago and was the largest predatory shark to have ever existed.
