Overview

Neil Shubin, the paleontologist and professor of anatomy who co-discovered Tiktaalik, the "fish with hands," tells the story of our bodies as you've never heard it before. The basis for the PBS series.

By examining fossils and DNA, he shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our heads are organized like long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes look and function like those of worms and bacteria. Your Inner Fish makes us look at ourselves and our world in an illuminating new light. This is science writing at its finest--enlightening, accessible and told with irresistible enthusiasm.

  • Amazing book

    Alexis E. - 5 years 9 months ago

    I loved this book!! I had to read it for a biology course, but I kept onto it because it was so interesting. This book was very in depth yet easy to understand. The story of Tiktaalik and other anecdotes made this book informative and enjoyable to read. Shubin helped me appreciate evolutionary processes even more than I already did. #SummerReading
