Neil Shubin - Who is Neil Shubin

Neil Shubin - Who is Neil Shubin: "In 1999, Shubin and his team, which included vertebrate palaeontolgist Ted Daeschler and zoologist Farish Jenkins, Jr., started organizing an expedition to explore Devonian age rocks in the Canadian Arctic. They spent several years excavating sites that upon reflection appear to have been located at the bottom of an ancient ocean. Not a likely place to find a transitional fish-tetrapod fossil. Then in 2002, they moved their activities to Bird Quary, the site that two years later offered up the fossil remains of Tiktaalik."
