The Dean's Scholars Distinguished Lecture Series is proud to present renowned evolutionary biologist and author of the national best-seller "Your Inner Fish," Dr. Neil Shubin.

Have you ever wondered why the human body looks the way it does? Why our hands have five fingers instead of six? Why we walk on two legs instead of four? Join us as Neil Shubin delves deep into the past to answer these questions.

Neil Shubin is a paleontologist, molecular biologist, dean and professor of anatomy at the University of Chicago School of Medicine, best-selling author, and host of the Emmy award-winning documentary “Your Inner Fish.”
