About this book

Fossils and DNA provide complementary ways of investigating major changes in animal life. Neil Shubin describes how discoveries in genetics and embryonic development have reshaped paleontology, linking ancient bodies with the mechanisms that build living ones. Drawing on fieldwork and laboratory research, this science account examines the connections between species and the origins of large evolutionary transformations.

About the author

Neil Shubin

A flat-headed fossil fish with a neck and something like a wrist, dug out of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic in 2004, made Neil Shubin's name. Tiktaalik roseae sits close to the point where vertebrates came onto land, and Your Inner Fish in 2008 traced parts of the human body back through creatures like it.
