I didn't find this chapter as interesting as the first. However, the way he started off this chapter was very engaging. Reading about the dissection was a little sickening for me, but I really liked the way he took his emotional engagement with the human body and transitioned it into the description of amazing features that humans have in simply their hand, as well as the fossils they found to help their discovery of the origins of humans.
After that, it started to get a little dull. It started to become the textbook dialogue that I was worried about encountering when I first looked at this. I wasn't too thrilled on having another history lesson, but I did like seeing more of his dedication to his work; for example, when he searched nearly a decade for more evidence of human-like joints in fish.
The chapter became more interesting as it came closer to the conclusion. I liked the way he connected Tiktaalik to humans in describing its ability to do push ups, leading up to his declaration of humans as a unique construction of common parts.
