Evolutionary biology

These posters are a stunning artistic interpretation of the currently understood evolutionary processes. There is no other illustration that shows the development from Protocells to all the wondrous creatures living today.. and extinct ones too, in this much detail. Perfect as an educational tool for children and adults alike!

From the earliest single-celled organisms to the intricate beings that roam our planet today, the process of cell specialization has been a crucial aspect of evolution. Mutations, often seen as har…

One of several severe problems facing gradualists and Darwinists alike is the occurrence of what has come to be known as ‘the Cambrian explosion’ which took place around 530 million years ago. In 1992, evolutionary biologist Jeffrey Levington described the period as ‘evolutionary biology’s deepest paradox,’[i] and if one delves further into the facts regarding this incredible geological epoch it is easy to see why.

When people think of “evolution”, they often picture the “March of Progress”. This popular visual metaphor, a line of individuals leading from apes to humans (top), goes back to Rudolph Zallinger’s classic illustration for the Early Man volume of the Life Nature Library series published by Time-Life Books. But that illustration was never meant to show a direct evolutionary lineage—several of the figures were explicitly mentioned as side branches. Evolution is not linear, but branching, with…

Human evolution is a part of "biological anthropology" and requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes evolutionary biology, primatology, genetics, paleoecology, geology, mathematics, linguistics, and other disciplines.

Earliest cellular life on earth evolved about 3.5 billion years ago during precambrian time from protobionts/coacervates. Life then amazingly diversified through natural selection till recently. **Geological history of earth is studied by dividing it in eons, then further dividing eons in eras, era in periods, period in epochs. Life appeared in Archaeozoic eon. Multicellular life appeared during Proterozoic eon. Currently it is Phanerozoic eon, that started about 540 million years ago. The…
