Songs about science XII: Shubin’s song - December 16, 2008
Via the Panda’s Thumb blog, here comes another science song for your delectation.
Tiktaalik (Your Inner Fish), by the Indoorfins, concerns the strange ‘fishapod’ fossil that is halfway between the gutter and the stars fish and land-dwellers. It was commissioned by the University of Pennsylvania’s reading project on Neil Shubin’s book Your Inner Fish.
Shubin discovered the Tiktaalik fossil, and is commemorated in this song:
From the water to the land I;
Learn to swim and learn to stand I'm;
Found here by the hands of Neil Shubin.
Carry me home;
To find the Inner fish unknown
