Getting Ahead

In this chapter we meet a young Neil studying for a college exam about the structure of human heads. As he studied he tried to reveal the chaotic pattern of the human head. Eventually he made a realization that the cords of the brain were just like that of his lab. His lab had been renovated many times and each time, they would just put in a new set of wires on top of the old. Neil had discovered the head grew in that pattern as an embryo. It grew in step just as the amount of wires in the lab did. A head developed in four different segments each a gill arch that became a different part of the head. Just as in humans, sharks had these similar stages. Therefore furthering the connection to our inner fish.
