Review

"[Neil] Shubin excels at explaining the science, making each discovery an adventure... 'I can imagine few things more beautiful or intellectually profound than finding the basis for our humanity... nestled inside some of the most humble creatures that ever lived...,' he writes, and curious readers are likely to agree."

Publisher's note

A fascinating chronicle of the evolution of humankind traces the genetic history of the organs of the human body, offering a revealing correlation between the distant past and present-day human anatomy and physiology, behavior, illness, and DNA. Reprint. 75,000 first printing.

Annotation

When fish paleontologist Neil Shubin was given the introductory course in human anatomy at The University of Chicago medical school, he seemed highly unqualified for the job. His own research was in a 375 million year old prehistoric fish that he had discovered in the Arctic, not fresh human cadavers. However, he was shocked to realize the similarities between the anatomy of the two different species. In YOUR INNER FISH, he tracks the long and fascinating development of the human skeleton and body from its ancient ancestors, the first fish to crawl out of the oceans. Shubin writes about scientific discovery with the flair and enthusiasm of a brilliant detective, and readers will feel like they are involved in solving the mysteries of evolution.
