The Human Edge: Finding our inner fish<\/p>\n
In his article, The Human Edge: Finding our inner fish, Neil Shubin attempts to link the similarities between the fish and human beings as believed to be distant relatives. Having discovered fossils along the Canadian Arctic, Neil Shubin embarked upon carrying out experiments willing to compare its relation to man. At the same time, several other scientists such as Gavin Sherlock, a geneticist at the Stanford University, have also embarked on this research, and consequently, several relations between man and the fossil, named Tiktaalik, have been found. Some of the similarities were, for example, discovered in the fossil that also exists in a human body. These included the one-third yeast cells present in man, which were also present in the fossil found. What makes humans different, however, is the evolution of genetics.According to the analysis of this article, considering Neil Shubin\u2019s point of view and argument as well as Gavin Sherlock\u2019s findings from the research, there is a lot of relation between their opinions and research to the modern view of evolution, as well as Darwinian Theory of natural selection. According to Gavin Sherlock, for instance, it is evident that his state is concerned about the change and growth in the evolution of a mankind. For example, all the three arguments concur to the fact that the changes and growth in the genetic makeup, as well as the gradual development, is the reason behind the current stage that man is in. At the same time, considering the fact that this evolution has been going on and taking place over millions of years, it is not certain whether or not the evolution of humans has finally come to an end, since a man is likely to adapt to the changes taking place, particularly, in his environment and surroundings. <\/p>\n
