Ebook About An exciting and accessible new view of the evolution of human and animal life on Earth. From the author of national bestseller, Your Inner Fish, this extraordinary journey of discovery spans centuries, as explorers and scientists seek to understand the origins of life's immense diversity. “Fossils, DNA, scientists with a penchant for suits of armor—what’s not to love?”—BBC Wildlife MagazineOver billions of years, ancient fish evolved to walk on land, reptiles transformed into birds that fly, and apelike primates evolved into humans that walk on two legs, talk, and write. For more than a century, paleontologists have traveled the globe to find fossils that show how such changes have happened. We have now arrived at a remarkable moment—prehistoric fossils coupled with new DNA technology have given us the tools to answer some of the basic questions of our existence: How do big changes in evolution happen? Is our presence on Earth the product of mere chance? This new science reveals a multibillion-year evolutionary history filled with twists and turns, trial and error, accident and invention. In Some Assembly Required, Neil Shubin takes readers on a journey of discovery spanning centuries, as explorers and scientists seek to understand the origins of life's immense diversity.Book Some Assembly Required: Decoding Four Billion Years of Life, from Ancient Fossils to DNA Review :
It is always a joy when someone takes a convoluted and complex topic and creates a narrative that is engaging and accessible. Shubin manufactures an enjoyable read out of mountains of data and eons of research--the blood, sweat and tears of laboratory work and field study. He also gives credit to many faces who are not the main players on the biological stage. Thousands of minds have worked tirelessly in an attempt to unlock our genetic history and the details of humanities' origin. Many deserve credit for their industriousness and imagination. He highlights some of these with wonderful anecdotes and descriptions. He brings life to machinery.Unfortunately this book does not smooth out any of the evolutionary unknowns science continues to struggle with. Shubin paints our evolutionary history with broad strokes--and when one evaluates evolution from the eagle's nest our understanding of its apparatus appears plausible and seamless. But therein lies the rub. There is much discussion about what DNA can do, but no discussion about how it came to be. There is much discussion about replication, but no discussion regarding the genesis of RNA. And how did those beautiful, all important proteins originate, and how could cellular machinery evolve to produce them? The book's subtitle describes an attempt to decode 4 billion years of life. If that 4 billion years was represented by the alphabet then I would say this book touches a little bit on the letter C, catches some of M, and paints the beauty of Y and Z. If you are looking for a plausible, scientific conjecture of the origins of life, or a nuanced description evolutionary micro mechanisms that drive inexorable change, then this is not the book for you.It is an enjoyable read, and positive description of some of the pioneers of science. It does not fill in any gaps. The book does a great job of presenting the science through story telling, featuring background and context surrounding the scientists that made the discoveries. I could quibble with some of it (I knew Barbara McClintock very well and know or worked with many of the other scientists. But, generally I liked it.There is some oversimplification that I at least thought was unnecessary. Why, for example, talk about about switches in the DNA to which progesterone binds to activate genes? Is it really so difficult to say there is a receptor protein that progesterone binds, stimulating the receptor to bind the DNA? It actually helps make the point the book was trying to make even more strongly...that duplication leads to specialization and diversity of function--the receptors for all steroids are a great example of this and would have fit in so well with his earlier discussion of Jacob and Manod.One other note, I cannot recommend the audiobook version. The reader is terrible. He seems incapable of pronouncing the letter "S" at the end of plural words, at least at the ends of phrases. Also, as a lay reader, he apparently didn't think it worth asking how to pronounce certain scientific words. He refers to "A L U" sequences when everyone just says "alu" as a word. There are other frustrating mistakes.
