Human Evolution in 12 Pictures

Topic: Featured, Latest Posts, Science

Daniel Lee is not an expert in evolutionary theory, but he’s got ideas about where we came from. He certainly doesn’t try to pass them off as scientific truth; instead he makes his ideas into anything-but-primitive digital images intended as provocative art.[1]

His series titled “Origin” depicts human evolution in 12 pictures, from the fish form (as Coelacanth) eventually transforming to reptiles, apes and humans.

It took three photo shoots-using three different cameras-before Lee began working in Photoshop. He started by photographing a dead bluefish he picked up from an Italian market in New York City and finished with a human male model in various crouching and squatting positions.

Don’t know about you guys, but his digital images seem pretty convincing to me. You can view larger images below.

    I accept the fact that we came from fish more readily then the idea that we were molded from dirt and ribs..

    It’s amusing to me that so many Thousands have viewed this, yet only 125 have shared it on Facebook; kinda tells a different story. You have made a VERY LARGE error in your summation on page 1…”yet less than 150 years later it is largely taken for granted.” According to WHO?… You?! HA. That ‘statement’ is purely Your opinion and not even CLOSE to the truth. You have a talent in PhotoShop perhaps, but as far as your theory of where we came from, you are as wrong as your 125 followers. (assuming they all agree with you, and didnt just share the art). Christianity is larger than even you can imagine, and I only hope that some day you realize your error before it’s too late.
