When I first looked at our book for the summer assignment, I was honestly intrigued at the idea of there being a connection between fish and land living animals, but was also a little bit concerned that it would just be another boring novel . But as I continued to read, I was soon captivated by the thought that our whole history could be mapped out through fossils and that we as humans evolved from different types of animals. It was also interesting to learn the process of how paleontologists choose a site to look for their fossils and how it's not an act of randomness. There is so much effort and behind the scenes work in forming an expedition that i really didn't value paleontologists.
It was also very exciting to have read how the author and his team were able to discover a fish that had features resembling those of land living animals, and to see how he was able to take another step closer to learn how humans evolved from fish. I hope that the rest of the novel proves to be just as interesting as the first chapter, and I'm excited to continue reading.
