One of Shubin's groundbreaking discoveries, only a year and a half ago, was the unearthing of a fish with elbows and a neck, a long-sought evolutionary "missing link" between creatures of the sea and land-dwellers. The field of evolutionary biology is just beginning an exciting new age of discovery, and Neil Shubin's research expeditions around the world have redefined the way we now look at the origins of mammals, frogs, crocodiles, tetrapods, and sarcopterygian fish-and thus the way we look at the descent of humankind. Your Inner Fish is my favorite sort of book-an intelligent, exhilarating, and compelling scientific adventure story, one which will change forever how you understand what it means to be human.
