The structural adaptations of the Larynx from our ancestors to the present include a larynx that is descended or lower than that of our predecessors. This new feature allows food to become lodged more easily as it changes the way humans drink and swallow. Similarly, two distinct pathways no longer exist to separate liquid and air because the epiglottis can no longer connect with the soft palate.
