This book is actually really interesting. As what previous students posted, the writing is really easy to understand and one of the more interesting aspects are the pictures and diagrams that further create the image in the readers mind which allows him to relate to the pictures. Most of what is in the book has already been said by previous posts but the most intersting thing in the first chapter would be the "tiktaalik", which has a flat head, a neck, and most importantly, arm bone with joints. I'd think it would resemble a platupus-crocidile like animal. Earlier today, I watched a show on National Geographic called the Human Family tree, or somthing related to that. I explained how that genetics have shown that all humans are related to one women from Africa that is named Scientific Eve. Its quite somewhat ironic since I just read about how we all come from fish. I also learned more about the rock layers, and which land is ideal for excavation, such as the arctic, where the tiktaalik was found. Well its nice to know that we all came from fish, I like fish.
