During the Devonian Period the first fish evolved legs and started to walk on land as amphibians, and the first arthropods like insects and spiders also started to colonize terrestrial habitats.
While fish underwent a major radiation it was only one of several major evolutionary landmarks during the period, and other lifeforms were more common.
The ostracoderms were joined in the mid-Devonian by the first jawed fishes, the great armored placoderms, as well as the first sharks and ray-finned fish.

 Disambiguation: Bumper stickers from hell
It's the dual strike of "Christian" bumper stickers and the fish emblem on cars.
Jesus told us to "Let your light [not your bumper stickers or your fish emblems] so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven.

In support of this hypothesis, researchers have found that people can produce syntactically disambiguating prosody, and that listeners can use this prosody to help disambiguate sentences.
We found that although naive speakers can produce syntactically disambiguating prosody, they generally don't, and furthermore, that when given the choice between context and prosody, listeners choose interpretations based on context (Fox Tree & Meijer, 2000).
Without investigating spontaneous productions, for example, researchers might conclude that disambiguating prosody is always produced by speakers or necessary for comprehension by listeners.
