Evolution doesn’t proceed in a straight line

If you go by cartoons and T-shirts, you might think evolution proceeds as an orderly march toward a preordained finish line. But evolution has no endpoint in mind.

That is terrible.

It appears to show humans and chimps being about as close as humans and whales.

The image isn’t an exhaustive map,
at best it’s a loose general grouping.

Concerning the straight line or starts & stops;
If not acted upon by an outside force, be that

I think it’s quite good. Putting humans at the top is somewhat anthropocentric, but i like the way it marks segments on the trunk correctly. It’s a bit unusual to see that.

The cartoons and T-shirts are all intended to be humourous. Some “three scholars of biodiversity and biology” have no damn sense of humour.
