YOUR INNER FISH A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body

Every so often an audiobook comes along that is not only entertaining and informative but also utterly surprising. Whatever you think you know about evolution, YOUR INNER FISH will delight and amaze you as it reveals how structures in the human body—from our eyes and ears to our limbs and spinal cord—have their origins in ancient fish, reptiles, and mammals. As an active paleontologist, Shubin is privy to cutting-edge fossil discoveries, and as a writer, he is extraordinarily lucid and well organized. Marc Cashman takes a suitably friendly approach to the narration and complements the prose well, picking up on Shubin’s enthusiasm and humor at all the right spots. If only those who champion intelligent design would listen. D.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
