chapter 7

I completely agree with Brian. When he was explaining how they injected the embryo with dyes so the tissue was clear and everything else had color I was just amazed. What I wouldn't give to see that! I mean to actually watch life being created, all the tiny bones and organs assembling themselves to create a living breathing creature is just awe worthy. I can't even wrap my brain around the image, it just sounds so exciting to be able to see. I also found it interesting how he explained the purpose of bodies, since we now know that we used to be blobs. The whole idea of competition and our bodies being created in order to keep from being eaten made me think of Darwin. The concept of evolution all seems to lead back to his idea of survival of the fittest, either evolve or get eat.
