“Your Inner Fish” is a book about Neil Shubin’s personal studies and research that he obtained through the fossils he has found around the world. He was searching for proof to support his hypothesis that at one point we were all fish swimming in the ocean. This book is all about providing proof that there was an evolution from creatures that lived in the sea to ones that walked on land. This also captures Neil’s determined mind-set and how he wasn’t ready to accept ack to work. Next, they proceeded to focus closely on the bone structure of the fossil relating it to those of animals who walked on land. They found that these fossils showed a steady progression from fins to “one bone, two bones, lots of bones.” This was such a big breakthrough …show more content…
They conducted a lab to figure out if we all have similar proteins that react with our hedgehog gene causing limb growth. The protein of a mouse worked with the embryo of a shark, which means they have similar proteins. If a shark and a mouse have similar proteins and they are not similar in size and qualities at all, then couldn’ that be true with humans tooYour Inner Fish” is a book about Neil Shubin’s personal studies and research that he obtained through the fossils he has found around the world.

Teeth are essential for consuming food and it is believed we got these from our descendents as well which is another example of evolution. Chapter 5 is also about relating anatomy like our heads. Giving a personal review on this book I have to add in that it was very hard to understand this chapter because Neil is very intelligent and uses big words that are hard for me to comprehend along with detailed sentences that a 9th grader may have trouble understanding as well. The most I got from
