In case you couldn’t stay up late last night, here’s evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin, PhD, on the Colbert Report talking about his new book, “The Universe Within: Discovering the Common History of Rocks, Planets, and People.”

Highlights from Shubin’s interview start 50 seconds in. Visit the Comedy Central website for the full clip (their embedding for WordPress is a little wonky). He is also speaking at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore in Hyde Park this evening at 6:00 pm, so stop by if you’re in the Chicago area.
