The Robert R. Bensley Distinguished Service Professor of Organismal Biology and Anatomy, Shubin is known widely for his evolutionary work including the groundbreaking discovery of Tiktaalik roseae, the 375-million-year-old fossil considered a missing link between fish and all animals on land, including humans.
He has also written three popular science books: Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body (2008), ; The Universe Within: Discovering the Common History of Rocks, Planets, and People (2013); and most recently, Some Assembly Required: Decoding Four Billion Years of Life, from Ancient Fossils to DNA, published in March 2020. He appears regularly on TV and media to discuss science, including as the host of an Emmy Award-winning PBS series called Your Inner Fish.

Can we introduce that "regeneration " gene in humans through genetic engineering?
-
Awesome lecture, Dr. Shubin.

If the fin cells were 'deleted' then tektolic wouldnt have digits either, or did the cells get deleted to remove the fins and then reactivated as hand/feet?

Nora and Edward Ryerson. Bing! No disrespect intended, but you’ve got to admit that’s a perfect Groundhog Day setup.
