When I continued into the second chapter of the book, I was still very interested in what he had to say. It amazed me how much of our skeletal system was very similar compared to animals that lived hundreds of millions years ago. There is a shocking resemblance between our ankles, wrists, and even finger bones. The fins that Shubin compared to the fins of other fishes through the course of time all links to the development of more sophisticated bone structures. Like the Tiktallik, the fish that evolved to a land animal to improve their survival rate because most of the predators lived in the water. I admit, that before the idea of evolution was rather skeptical; but after reading Shubin's book, evolution seems more understandable and real to me.
