I feel smaller than an Atom.

So I don't keep track of time during summer, so I'm again sorry for forgetting that it was saturday. Anyways, chapter 7 came as a shock to me because Shubin compared the body building to a house construction. The other thing that came as a shock to me was how small Shubin makes us feel. Humans are literally nothing to the Earth when looked at from a chronological angle. The fact that life appeared on the planet over 600 million years ago shows me that we really don't have any right to call this planet "ours". Anyways, this was a very long chapter, and I actually found myself breezing past it. Shubin again made it easy to read with his vivid explanations of even the most difficult of things. Looking ahead, I can see that now Shubin is going to focus on the primary subject of the body, such as the senses and our main body parts.
