When a Fish Stared Back at Me
Have you ever looked at your hand-really looked at it-and wondered where it came from? Not in the "my parents gave me this" sense, but deeper: why does it have five fingers and not six? Why does your wrist bend the way it does? Here's the unsettling truth: the answers lie buried in Arctic ice, locked inside a 375-million-year-old fish. In 2004, after six grueling years of searching frozen Canadian wastelands, paleontologist Neil Shubin unearthed Tiktaalik-a creature with scales and fins, but also a flat head, a neck, and something jaw-dropping: wrists. This wasn't just another fossil. It was a mirror reflecting our own anatomy back at us from deep time. When Shubin brought it to his son's preschool, children immediately saw what scientists had predicted: something that was both fish and not-fish, a creature caught mid-transformation. What Tiktaalik revealed goes far beyond evolutionary curiosity-it's a roadmap to understanding why our bodies work the way they do, why they break down in predictable ways, and why a hiccup, a hernia, or a torn knee connects us to creatures that swam in ancient seas.
