Chapter 1 your inner fish

When we had the Biology meeting for the summer assignment I was kind of afraid to read this book because I thought that it would be just facts about the fish that is on the cover of the book (Probably the Tiktaalik) and that it would be boring to read. My second thought of the book would be that will I ever survive reading through the first chapter of this book? Well I did and I really enjoyed it, I was amazed by reading chapter one. It seemed as if I was invading his privacy by reading through his personal diary.
I was really amazed on how he kept on searching and looking for fossils. He never gave up until he found what he was looking for. I was surprised at the part where he said that when earth quakes came rock layers were sometimes moved up or down. What I thought before reading this book was that the rock layers stay the same because they are firmly pressed in the ground. A question had came up in my mind when I saw part of the front cover “A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the human Body.” I thought how humans became the way they are right now? Well when I read the first chapter I found the answer they had formed from ape like creatures who have most of the same characteristics as a human. Another thing that I was greatly fond was the discovery of an fish/crocodile creature called the Tiktaalik. It looked like a fish with a neck and legs.
I enjoyed reading the first chapter and I cant wait to find out what the next chapter upholds.
