5:30 pm, Reception, University Club of Chicago

University of Chicago paleontologist Neil Shubin, author of the bestselling book  Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5 Billion-Year History of the Human Body and host of the PBS miniseries of the same title, will speak about the history of the human body.  From the High Arctic of Canada, Shubin and his colleagues recovered fish fossils, over 375 million years old, that tell of the great transition from life in water to life on land. Shubin will tell the story of this discovery and show what it means for understanding the human body.
