“Not for the faint of interest. Shubin gets "under the hood" of our anatomy, not just talking about the evolution of our species, but the evolution of all our various parts. Every part of us was jerry-rigged from parts of other animals; imagine trying to build an airplane using only parts from one VW bug. That explains why things aren't always optimally designed, why drinking too much can make you dizzy, why it's easy to choke when drinking water. Interesting stuff, but maybe too specific for many readers.”
