Chapter 2

The introduction to this chapter made the content so much more significant. Usually I would think, so they found a hand big deal, but the way he describes the importance of the hand and how it makes us human was very emotional. To me the face would be the part that got to me. All the emotions it possesses and the individuality it creates, but when the subject of the hand was brought up I couldn't help but think how everything that happens in life is proof by your hand. The ability to touch and feel things makes them tangible and gives them significance in our lives. The importance he was able to transfer to hands made me so much more amazed by the fact that our hands took millions of years to develop. The Tiktaalik is the first sign of our bones developing, it's the history on how we were made. Not only that, but all of out bones they have a story, we're actually made of so many different fish assembled together as if we were the final product of so many trials. The way all of this is described grabbed my attention and pulled me into this field. Human anatomy is like a giant jigsaw puzzle and they're still working on putting us together.
