What about our bodies?

In case none of my other posts are clear, I really enjoyed this book. I think it had such great content, well-utilized personal stories, accurate information, and good underlying intentions throughout. I only have a singular complaint to put in the complaint box…

 

The one thing I wish Zoobiquity talked a bit more about was the intersection of physical health. Yes, heart troubles, cancer, and fainting were all examples of connected physical ailments, but I was really hoping for a bit of evolutionary anatomy. One of my favorite things of all time is the progression of rear jaw bones into ear bones over millions of years as jaw flexibility wasn’t as necessary (thanks, Neil Shubin!). I’m a huge sucker for those kinds of facts and although I obviously enjoyed the more obscure *connections between human and animal health*, I would’ve loved a quick bit on how physical structures of human/animal bodies are connected (just to immediately school the nay-sayers).

A nice visual of the ear bone structures that developed out of what was essentially jaw joints
