Another thing to get used to in the Arctic is being in the food chain. There are polar bears there, and polar bears eat people. So we carry weapons.

It could either push itself straight up and down or pull itself forward. It more likely flopped around like a seal rather than walked like a horse.

When we got back into the lab, we removed the rock from the bone, and we began to find some really significant stuff.

When we look inside the fin, we see a shoulder, we see an elbow, and we see an early version of a wrist, which is very similar to that of all animals that also walk on land.

Outside, it's a classic Arctic scene. But inside those rocks is a tropical world.

It took a long time for us to figure out really the extent of what we had.

We've really only begun to sort of crack that spot.

It could flex the elbow and extend the wrist so the tip of the fin could lie against the ground. It could do a push-up.

Most of the major joints of the fin are functional in this fish. The shoulder, elbow, and even parts of the wrist are already there and working in ways similar to the earliest land-living animals.

Here is a creature with fins that can do push-ups.

That's ideal — having the snout sticking out — because in the cliff behind it is likely the rest of the animal.

This is not some archaic branch of evolution. This is our branch of evolution. This is our wrist. This is the evolution of our neck.

This animal represents the transition from water to land?the part of history that includes ourselves.

Here is a creature with fins that can do push-ups. This is clearly an animal that is able to support itself on the ground.

It is a fish that shows a surprising combination of characteristics of land-living animals.
