Correct Answer is (B) [
The answer is most likely: (B) Fish.
Here’s why:
- Neil Shubin is a paleontologist known for his work on the evolution of limbs and the transition of fish to land animals.
- His book “Your Inner Fish” explores the idea that our bodies hold remnants of our evolutionary history, including features inherited from fish-like ancestors.
- In this context, “embarrass” might be used humorously to suggest that our inner fish, representing our more primitive evolutionary past, might not always align with our self-image or aspirations.
While the other options are not impossible interpretations, “fish” aligns best with Shubin’s expertise and the concept of our evolutionary heritage.
- Rat: There’s no clear connection between Shubin’s work and rats.
- Dog: While dogs are mammals like us, the focus of Shubin’s work is on the earlier transition from fish to land animals.
- Soul: The concept of a soul is not typically associated with evolutionary theory
