Your inner fish : a journey into the 3.5 billion year history of the human body

by Neil Shubin

This exploration of human evolution traces the origins of our anatomy and DNA back to ancient fish, reptiles, and bacteria. It uses fossil and genetic evidence to reveal how our bodies are organised and connected to primitive life forms.
