Neil Shubin, a leading paleontologist and professor of anatomy who discovered Tiktaalik--the "missing link" that made headlines around the world in April 2006--tells the story of evolution by tracing the organs of the human body back millions of years, long before the first creatures walked the earth. By examining fossils and DNA, Shubin shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our head is organized like that of a long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genome look and function like those of worms and bacteria.--From publisher description.… (plus d'informations)

A path through the fossil records of ancient fish to features common in human anatomy. The book reframes us as descending from fish and mantaining many connections with our origins. (

Science writing at its best. Wonderful book about how our human bodies came about through evolution from fish and earlier. The title always sounded a bit odd to me, and if it does to you, please don’t let that prevent you from reading this masterpiece. Easy and fun to read, and although I’ve been reading about evolution for years I still learned a ton from this book, and had a great time doing so. Also fun to read about what paleontologist do, and how it fits in with other strands of biology (and geology). (

This is an interesting look at what we can learn about ourselves and evolution by comparing ourselves to other organisms. It is astounding that so much diversity arises from the same basic components. (

Shubin's engaging book reveals our fishy origins (for which we can thank hiccupping and hernias) and shows how life on Earth is profoundly interrelated. A book after Darwin's heart.

ajouté par waitingtoderail | modifierThe Guardian, PD Smith (Jan 31, 2009)

Shubin connects with sections on his own work discovering fossils, and on the sometimes surprising roots of modern human complaints. But the paleontologist can't escape his own academic history — much of Your Inner Fish reads like a cross between fleshed-out lecture notes and a dummed-down textbook.

ajouté par waitingtoderail | modifierEntertainment Weekly, Thomas Hayden (Jan 18, 2008)

Your Inner Fish combines Shubin's and others' discoveries to present a twenty-first-century anatomy lesson. The simple, passionate writing may turn more than a few high-school students into aspiring biologists.
