From Shifting Baselines comes a heads-up about a new book that's out there informing the public about our fishy heritage: Your Inner Fish. Reading the NYTimes book review, I think that it will be a good read for anyone who hasn't taken a fish biology, comparative anatomy, or evolution course at university. For those of us who have, it looks to be a good book to get us up to speed on what's been happening in the field since we last studied it.
Right now (7:25PM on 20 February, 2008), there are 14 book reviews on Amazon.com, and so far they are all very positive (5 stars, except for a 4-star review). I take it that the anti-evolutionists haven't figured out that the book exists (after all, it was written up in the NYTimes, and not the "Worldnutdaily").
