the fin that decided walking looked easier than swimming.

means any vertebrate with four limbs (or descended from one), including you, birds, and anything that ever left a footprint on land.

from from greek tetra (four) plus pous (foot); coined for the fossil lineage that crawled out of devonian swamps around 375 million years ago, trading gills for lungs and fins for legs.
