Chapter Five: Getting Ahead

The most interesting part in chapter three was Shubin's experience in anatomy lab. Being alone among twenty-five corpse is pretty terrifyng, but I didn't expect it to be told from Shubin. It was impressive part because it showed me a humanlike aspect of scientist. This chapter was about the cranial bone structure. Our head consists of three parts; three plates, three blocks, and three rods. There are numorous rooms in our skull and there are organs it those. And muscles are attached to the bones and organs in the skull enabling us to bite, talk, and to moce our eyes and whole head. And this time, Shubin compared human to shark. He suggested the arches in our bodies reveal that we are close to shark. Honestly, this chapter sounded somewhat dull to me comparing to other chapters. But I want to believe it was worth it reading through this chapter.
