Why do we look like the way we look like? What are the similarities between human hands and butterfly wings? And how are hair, breast, and a complex device of our ears interconnected? These questions only seem to be idle. In fact their answers will help us to understand the structure of the human body and, therefore, to find the cause of its weaknesses and illnesses. Neil Shubin, a professor of anatomy, a well-known paleontologist and one of the discoverers of the legendary tiktaalik (an intermediate between fish and land animals), offers a fascinating journey to the origins of evolution and allows seeing how over the past three and a half billion years our body has formed and perfected.
