Chapter 7

Chapter seven described the perfect way that the body is formed and assembled. Every single body part has its assigned place and use. Our body is perfectly built and our proportions evenly made. If even one chromosome forms incorrectly our bodies would become less capable of working. Shubin presents this amazing feat in our creation. It took so many "months" to make us. Our bodies and minds are just that extraordinary. It is because of these facts that I believe it is so unlikely that we could come from animals. We are similar to many creatures in so many ways but it does not maen they are part of our genology. Though we are not related to these various animals its amazing how similar we are in structure and embreyos. It was very interesting to read about the uterus and how pregnancy works. All the pictures explained so much that even the most detailed explainations couldn't have. The only negative thing about viewing the pictures is that I now realize how ugly we humans look at 4 weeks old (103). I dislike this repeatative comparison of us to flies I think it is rather degrading. Despite this books ups and downs it is over all good and interesting.
