Comments on: A video documenting 527 million years of evolution http://anthropology.net/2008/01/25/a-video-documenting-527-million-years-of-evolution/ Beyond bones & stones Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:33:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Robin Öberg http://anthropology.net/2008/01/25/a-video-documenting-527-million-years-of-evolution/#comment-9555 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:46:18 +0000 http://anthropologynet.wordpress.com/?p=663#comment-9555 And yes, that jump to the humans at the end was a little bit weird. What’s next, showing how culture has evolved evolutionary, with monkeys using their thumbs and such. :)

These changes are also not just on the outside, but on the inside. I mean, it would definitely be cool with a video where the redundancy of the spleen was given it’s context ;D

On the old version of Anthropology.net, I had put up that commercial! I forgot to transfer it over, during last years move. Thanks for finding it.

I didn’t know exactly where these clips came from! Thanks for telling us. I had a feeling the dino one came from Walking with Dinosaurs, though.

They’re worth a watch… but they don’t as good a soundtrack as this video.

Evolution played backwards, starting with the most important part (Guinness).
