"In Your Inner Fish, Neil Shubin tells the story of evolution by tracing the organs of the human body back millions of years, long before the first creatures walked the earth. By examining fossils and DNA, Shubin shows us that our hands actually resemble fish fins, our head is organized like that of a long-extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genome look and function like those of worms and bacteria. We have compiled the figures from the book into a deck of PowerPoint slides for use in the classroom."

"Book two in a three part series,
It's Alive explains the scientific theories
regarding the origin of life on Earth
using captivating illustrations and whimsical rhymes.
From the formation of our solar system to the birth of bacteria,
you'll learn about the conditions that could have created life,
the nature of organic existence, and the beauty of evolution.

That's why I made it rhyme and added lots of pictures."
