Summary: Neil Shubin, a leading paleontologist and professor of anatomy who discovered Tiktaalik--the "missing link" that made headlines around the world in April 2006--tells the story of evolution by tracing the organs of the human body back millions of years, long before the first creatures walked the earth. By examining fossils and DNA, Shubin shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our head is organized like that of a long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genome look and function like those of worms and bacteria.--From publisher description
Includes bibliographical references (p. [211]-222) and index
"Originally published in slightly different form in hardcover by Pantheon Books, a division of Random House, Inc., New York, in 2008."--T.p.verso
