  6. Discussion • Why do you think a limb is set up the way it is? If you were to create a limb would you use more or less bones? Which areas of the arm would you change? • What do you think Tiktaalik used its advanced arms for? Do you think it was mostly a mud-dwelling or water-dwelling animal? Why? • What do you think lead to the change in lifestyle from fish to Tiktaalik? • Why do you think we evolved to be land dwelling creatures and not an intermediate like Tiktaalik?
