Everyone has a bad Monday every now and then, right? Here's one for you: at 7a.m. spilled an entire cappuccino on my laptop and at 7p.m. I hit some black ice on the highway and rolled (and totaled) my truck. That is what I call a rough Monday...but what a banner, no?

Over at National Review Online, John Derbyshire tackles George Gilder's expectorations on evolution. He writes:
It's a wearying business, arguing with Creationists. Basically, it is a game of Whack-a-Mole. They make an argument, you whack it down. They make a second, you whack it down. They make a…

When the sea levels rose following the last major glaciation, most rapidly between around 18,000 and 10,000 years ago, somewhat less rapidly until about 6,000 years ago, a lot of interesting things happened.

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.

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. :)
It is a unique art(Olduvai's art) and those prehistoric creatures rock are really astonishing.
