Books
Neil Shubin will read from Your Inner Fish: A Journey Into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body. He's the guy who discovered Tiktaalik, the being that links humans to fish. Even cooler, he brought Tiktaalik with him to the Colbert Report. Hilarity ensues, as shown below:
Shubin will be at Harvard Book Store at 7:00 pm, free.

Well, I'd love to be at Neil's event, and he probably feels the same way in reverse. I often wish bookstores would think of odd pairings, because it makes things a lot more fun! My favorite event of all time was when I was oddly paired with President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, in Iowa, of all places.
Please notify me when Colbert is ready to discuss his sexual evolution!
