Author starts this chapter with gross stuff! In this chapter he also talks about how he taught medical school level courses. Even though I think it is really weird a paleontologist teaching medical school level courses. Shubin also talks about how a hand is "quintessentially human" meaning hands describe human's "quality" and "capacity". Shubin also talks about how for Sir Charles Bell, the hand was the perfect design. Also, how he thought that it was evidence for God because it was perfectly built for us as tool users.
One bone, two bones, bunch of little bones. Shubin told us in the book that Sir Richard Owen is an anatomist who noticed that there is similar pattern to how all our bones are located. Owen described a Gorilla first.
The Most Interesting part is that Tiktaalik has the arm setup and musculature to do push-ups. I felt that was really weird because a fish with arm set that best suits to do push-ups. But according to environment it might help Tiktaalik!
