Publisher Description
Your Inner Fish tells the extraordinary history of the human body and gives answers to some of the questions that only evolution can. Why do we look the way we do? Why are we able to do all the different things we do? And, finally, why do we fall ill in the way that we do? Neil Shubin draws on the latest genetic research and his huge experience as an expeditionary paleontologist to show the incredible impact the 3.5 billion year history of life has had on our bodies. He takes readers on a fascinating, unexpected journey and allows us to discover the deep connection to nature in our own bodies.

Excellent stuff
Fantastic book. Clear and often funny explanation of the similarities between earth’s creatures and how time and evolution has changed and morphed biological forms into humans. Easy to understand for the lay person and very engaging.

I am a student paramedic, and as such I found this book a fantastic and enticing insight into the world of genes and evolution. Thank you Mr Shubin for a job well done!
