Well I think the introduction for this chapter was my favorite (and sickening). Shubin has a way to place the image right in my head, which I really hoped he wouldn't since I could clearly see that soapy soup with a goopy white ball. One of the most interesting parts of the chapter for me was learning about how the nasal passage for dolphins and whales is now the blowhole. I never knew that they never had a sense of smell. I also loved hearing about how over evolution we developed the process of trading senses because of how it makes sense. Us humans rely on our sight the most, which explains why our sense of smell is mediocre compared to that of dogs.
