graphical evolution
This news item is nothing too special; some biology teacher in Oregon slipped anti-scientific materials into his evolution lesson plans and got fired for it. The real attractor is the stunning CNN graphic that accompanied the story, pictured here. The graphics department at CNN is, as ever, a fount of clarity and knowledge. I understand the message perfectly.
“Man’s distant ancestor (a chalk homicide outline) crawled upon the earth like an ape, then grew more upright, ultimately transforming into the letter ‘A’. This functioned as the perfect camouflage against man’s greatest predator, the Giant Pencils.”
