How Shubin dived into the subject of teeth, I got really interested. I kind of already new about teeth and how our teeth are built to fit our needs but I did not really think about their importance until reading this chapter. I loved how Shubin writes about how he first started out trying to find bones and teeth. It really showed me how he grew from a student of others to an archeologist himself. The illustrations shown throughout the chapter really helped me out in understanding what Shubin talks about. How Shubin finds a way to explain the connections we have with other animals so simply still amazes me. My favorite part of this chapter though, would definitely, the very last paragraph; where Shubin recaps the last four chapters for us.
