First Fridays Science Discussion | Natural History Museum Of Los Angeles

Why do we look the way we do? The answers to this question come from seemingly strange places: from the bodies, fossils and DNA of everything from microbes to worms and fish. Dr. Neil H. Shubin is a paleontologist and Associate Dean of Organismal and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago. He'll guide guests through the discovery of a key link between fish and amphibians, and how this ancient event informs the basic structure of the human body.
