Chapter 1: Finding Your Inner Fish

Well, in the beginning parts of the first chapter I had no idea how Shubin's lack of funds and past exploration sites related anything to finding my inner fish. I will admit that I felt like putting the book down when he started describing how they were finding nothing and he would rather be in Hawaii and all those thoughts. However, at the end it all comes together and you understand why he had to build up for a moment like that. The discovery of the intermediate land/water fish is interesting but I was surprised that Shubin gave the discovery away right off the bat and what he could possibly tell us in teh next ten chapters. But i will admit, I'm excited to continue reading! :) This book even by reading the first chapter has already got me thinking about how we (humans) actually ending up living lives like this and to think that we came from a fish. So in essence this book is extremely thought provoking and I enjoyed it even if it was only the first chapter.
