Neil Shubin has truly given me a new take on biology, through his paleontology. I am very intrigued by his findings in the arctic, but even more so by the whole process of palentology that he explains to us in depth. Also, the process of fish revolving into land creatures is something I did not have previous knowledg of, but i hope to learn more as I continue reading. The facts that hunting for fossils involves a complex skill and strategy, but in the end boils down to luck just fascinates me. The fact that, through all of our industrialization and technological advances, there are still places for us to even look for fossils. Also, the way Neil has narrated the text, it makes it feel personal, like I'm part of the action, and what was going on, and it was exciting. This book started off with a surprisingly good kick, and I cannot wait to see what Neil and his team encounter next.

Exactly what I was feeling Danielle(; The way Shubin just walks us through the process of archaeology makes everything else so much easier to understand. I had no idea finding fossils was this hard!
