Chapter 1

Honestly, I was bummed to do a reading assignment for AP Biology. I already had reading assignments for English and more reading was not good news for me. However, the book was surprisingly entertaining. Even when I do think of evolution, I always thought of humans developing through a line of mammals, and not from marine animals. The author does a great job with his exciting tone to not bore the reader. Also, the book was fairly easy to read. It was not like the other English books that contained numerous words that I have no idea what they mean. The book does not use only the scientific terms but widely known words, such as fossil.

But I am still confused about evolution. Evolution, as we all know, is a process that happens in a long period of time. So when does that one certain, major change occur? When fishes finally step out of the water? When did the animals start to develop the limbs? With all changes, there is that one major transition that must occur. Animals must have had that one point where they stepped on soil.
