Early pictures of evolution [image heavy]

[Oolon Colluphid]

In browsing, via my Open University access, the amazing Bridgeman Education site (http://www.bridgemaneducation.com/default.asp) for pics for the Favourite works of art thread (http://secularcafe.org/showthread.php?t=1239), I discovered that one can search on all manner of key words. So, I tried 'evolution', and found these. Enjoy!

I find it very moving to see those pictures. It's like being able to hold hands across time.

[Martin.au]

Darwin has sad eyes.

[Pope John Pol Pot II]

Darwin has sad eyes.

I don't know about that, but his eyebrows SERIOUSLY evolved from picture to picture.
