From Salameandering:

Lungs are what enabled the ancestors of all tetrapods to climb out of the Devonian soup some 400 million years ago …  Since they utilize the vast surface area of alveoli for gas exchange, rather than the relatively limited amount of surface area provided by a creature’s skin …
An average human adult’s skin has a surface area of roughly 16-21 square feet
whereas the surface area of the alveoli inside that same human is about 100 square yards!
Amphibians are neither large, nor particularly active, … amphibians of the order Anura (ie: frogs) evolved four mechanisms for breathing:
through gills
via lungs
through their very permeable skin
through sensitive skin inside the mouth.
Lungless salamanders (2/3 of all salamander diversity) took things one step further and got rid of the primitive lungs all together, to rely solely on cutaneous gas exchange.
