The ability to ask question like 'Where am I and who is the "I" that is asking?' is one of the things that distinguishes mankind from, say, cuttlefish.

Thanks for posting Olduvai George's art -- he is a master. I love his prehistoric creatures, and the attention to detail in his landforms. Brings ideas to life like few realist artists can.
best fishes,
Timothy

Endless forms, most beautiful.
Again, and again and again ...

Olduvai's art is amazing indeed. And those prehistoric creatures rock. Isn't it time already for some kind of Jurassic Park?? ;)

Though I have heard about Pakicetus earlier I got a lot of new info on both it and its place in cetacean development. Seems Olduvai has been involved in this group of animals before.
I'm particularly thrilled with that he made a description of how he works, and that he doesn't try to pervert each illustration into a smooth series but makes them according to the best of available data. That is professionalism!

Thanks for the head's up that Olduvai George is back - what a great post. Again, the goosebumps at the wonder of the evolution of life on this planet. :)
