Ashok Kumar, Have you read the book "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin which traces the human origins from fish via amphibians and mammals using fossils and genes. The reason why I ask is in the dasavtaras, the first one is matsya the very saem fish that Shubin talks about. So my point is there a significance in that avatara about the human origins? Is there any hint why matsya avatara? The next is Kurma ie an amphibian.
I know you have a very good background in bio-technology and Sanskrit.
