I saw this on Facebook:
It seems problematic from two perspectives – the use of “belief” in relation to a scientific conclusion, and the depiction of the first primate ancestor shown in the image in a manner that looks like a modern animal, which confuses many people and leads to the inane objection based on that misconception, “If we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?”
But I decided to share it if only in the hope that it might inspire someone to make a better image. And its main point is solid and important: even evolution-deniers are participants in the evolutionary process, having descended with modification from their ancestors, and (if they have children) passing on their genes with modification to their descendants.
