As I finish reading Your Inner Fish, I am happy to say that I have learned a lot that I hadn't known before. Shubin did a wonderful job in explaining the many relationships that humans share with other organisms. He was able to make these evolutionary connections throughout the entire book and really engaged the reader in wanting to learn more. He provided evidence about these evolutionary viewpoints by talking about the structure of the human body and the many aspects of it that were similar to other life forms. His writing style also made the concepts introduced easier to follow. Overall I definitely enjoyed reading this book. I was intrigued by all of the evidence that Shubin provided and his writing style definitely got me wanting to read more. Shubin's writing style made it possible for me to make connections to other concepts that I had learned before. The author did a phenomenal job in explaining how parts of the human body are in fact similar to those of other organisms that, structurally, look nothing like us. This book made me realize how connected we actually are to other organisms and that our DNA, cells, and organs are the evidence to all of these connections.
