Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin
No matter how different the species look as adults, as tiny embryos they all go through the same stages of development.

Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin
Ever wonder what life would be like if we didn't have necks i.e. if our heads were directly attached to our shoulders? Thanks to our 375 million-year-old fish ancestor Tiktaalik, the earliest known animal to have a neck, we don't have to wonder.
We, humans, pride ourselves on being different from animals. We even use words like 'beastly' or 'animalistic' to describe actions deemed inhuman. But the truth is we are animals, too. And no where is that more evident than when we look at how cells and organisms evolved into the beings we call 'humans' today.
Read This Book to understand the deep and tangible connection we share with all life on earth, past and present, and to gain a better appreciation for our incredible but fragile biodiversity.
