Like everyone else I too thought that I was going to dread this book. I already had a lot of summer homework and I was not looking forward to adding yet another book to read. Then as I started reading I was intrigued by how interesting it became. Neil Shubin’s style of writing makes it easier to understand and allows me to picture what he is trying to explain. Reading about all his trial and errors just to find the tiktaalik was quite amusing. I was also impressed to find that he kept looking for the fossils for six years without giving up. Learning about the tiktaalik fascinated me. I always thought that humans came from mammals rather than amphibians. I never really stopped to think about how mammals came about. Did we start off as amphibians? I hope to find out more about the tiktaalik and what humans originated from.
