Lots of fish have swim bladders that can fill with air. Lungfish have lungs, more or less (which is actually the ancestral state, I believe).
Answering the original question... for fish in oxygen-poor water, it can be beneficial to gulp air from time to time to get some extra oxygen. The more efficiently a fish can extract oxygen from air, the better it will be able to function in oxygen-poor water, which is why some version of air-breathing evolved well before fish started moving onto land.

Personally, my favorite story from evolutionary theory is the one where that cow who walked out of the sea one day decides to walk back into the sea and become a whale. What a brilliant, visionary move. When you compare how much beef McDonald's sells to how much whale blubber they sell...brilliant move. <slow clap>

You believers in evolution should be all over this OP with answers.
After all, a theory should be falsifiable, shouldn't it?
Falsifiability is the capacity for some proposition, statement, theory or hypothesis to be proven wrong. The concept of falsifiability was introduced in 1935 by Austrian philosopher and scientist Karl Popper (1902-1994). Since then, the scientific community has come to consider falsifiability to be one of the fundamental tenets of the scientific method, along with attributes such as replicability and testability.

Because humans are classified as a primate species, I assume you mean "other primate species." Since the principle criteria for differentiating species is lack of interfertility, then yes, it's highly unlikely. But that has nothing to do with evolution and is not evidence for or against it.

Fact men of science have no actual true evidence for evolution, only scientist saying this is evidence. With other scientist agreeing with each other.
What science needs is someone (outside of the science club) from millions of years ago to establish their facts are true.

With that claim, you have clearly demonstrated that you aren't qualified, (either by way of knowledge or understanding), to declare what science does or does not need.

Show me, these million year old evolving people. Their established civilizations, their art, music, etc.. that is the requirement science demands of the Hebrews who wandered in the desert for 40 years.

Ok good question.
You may have seen fish at the surface gulping air
when the water is low oxygen.
Gills have to be wet to absorb oxygen; works in air or
water. Gills are kind of impractical for land life
though many species live well for many hours,
even months out of water as long as gills are wet.
Gills or lungs are not necessarily even needed.
There's a group of lungless salamanders that get
all their oxygen through their skins. Fish that
respire through skin There's turtles...
But you get the idea.
At times and places there can be large areas of aquatic
environment where normal fish can't survive the seasonal
Iow oxygen.
Fresh water, not marine. The transitional forms were all fresh water.
Hostile environment? No. They'd not venture into a e hostile environment,rather, aadvantageous one. Behold the mudskipper.
Early land- venturing fish would be slow and clumsy.
Behold the walking catfish.
BUT! No hyenas or cats or coyotes to eat them. The fish were the Monsters from the lagoon, cone to prey on the helpress!
AlAlmostny design for a land venturing fish would work,
with no dangers or competition. At first.
Backing up a bit to oxygen starved fish...
Advantage, air gulping. And the more throat area,
the more and quicker they can get air. Helpful
if showing yourself at the surface invites predation.
But how to fit a big area of throat tissue into the body?
A pouch off from the throat works great...and theres the
start of lungs.
Lungs were ready made before the
fish ventured out of water. So, no,
we dont "know lungs debeloped after ".
Didn't happen, don't make sense.
There are living fish today at these different steps.
Make sense?
