Reposted from Tumbld Thoughts (December 5):
Above are two visual representations of evolution [3] taken from the video:
1) evolutionary transitions from the first plants (8:30) to cell colonies (8:56).
2) evolution of sea life from polyps with tentacles (9:26) to the first ancestral fishes (filter feeders with gill slits - 9:40).
NOTES:
[1] No posts from Synthetic Daisies in CoE this month. Just didn't have a chance to create a longer-ish, evolution-related post last month (I tend to use my microblog for shorter features, or for less polished profiles and features).
[2] a reboot of Cosmos is planned for the near future (hosted by Neil Degrasse Tyson and produced by Seth MacFarlane).
[3] progression of time in video is roughly proportional to elapsed evolutionary time.
