Most of us have a general idea of how we learn best. Some might retain information better by listening or taking notes, while others may prefer being hands-on with the topic or looking at tables and diagrams. When it comes down to it, there’s no one size fits all.
Today, visual learners are in luck because we’re looking at a subreddit called “Infographics,” a collection of data visualizations in various forms, like bar charts and heat maps. Full of colors and creative imagery, they’re both educational and fun. Scroll down to find the best ones that might change the way you see the world.

Infographics are a creative way to display data that breaks up complex information into bite-sized pieces. For this reason, it can be a great learning tool in education.
For one, such visualization can hold a person’s attention for longer. As people are exposed to more and more information every day, it’s hard to keep them focused and prevent them from quickly moving on to the next shiny piece of statistics.
Just for us to imagine how distracting it can get, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were created daily in 2021, according to The Next Tech. Therefore, infographics can help by taking an overwhelming amount of facts and presenting them with engaging images and colors.

Besides, most people process visual material much faster and tend to recall it better.
Neuroscientists from MIT found that the brain analyzes an image in 13 milliseconds, making these visuals a great learning aid. Our mind also tends to attach emotion to pictures, which explains why the average person remembers 65% of visual information ten days later, while they can recall only 10% of something they heard ten days ago.
Furthermore, they often prove effective in education because they use images to highlight, explain, or enhance text-based information, which also encourages data retention for many learners.

Load More Replies...This is brilliant! I love how it weaves back and forth from Domain(ish) through Kingdom, Phylum, Superclass, Class, Order, Family and Genus.
Looking at it in detail, it is startlingly accurate. There's still a big jump between 170 million years ago and 90 million years ago. We need a few more fossils there to help fill in the gap.
Load More Replies...Hmm I don't think this is very accurate 🤔 Neanderthals were a sister species to homo sapiens, not its direct ancestor. And well, homo sapiens interbred with homo erectus, denisovians (another sister species) and neanderthals so modern day humans tend to have some genetic mix from all of them. It's really not the straight walk forward like this portrays.
There are a lot of inaccuracies and straight-up incorrect information in this. Many of these 'ancestors' may have had nothing to do with our lineage at all. Tiktaalik was not the first animal to walk on land, it is the first *known* *vertebrate*animal on land. Millipedes and other invertebrates preceded it by a huge margin.
Load More Replies...And this is only one branch among millions others on the evolution "tree" (but a very big bush is a more accurate image).
I want to know why the default human is always a man.
Load More Replies...FFS, if you're coming to BP for journalistic integrity or real information, you need to see a professional for your delusion.
Saw a documentary recently that shows the latest research suggests the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees was not a knuckle-walker, but a climbing primate that, when walking upright, had an upright walking style similar to a lemur. So we didn't evolve from knuckle-walking apes, but knuckle-walking evolved after our split from the lineage we shared with chimps.
And all without the single depiction of a female of the species. Well done- erased us again. And “Evolving into the Future” can take a hike.
And now many citizens of the former-united states are on the road back.
Wait a minnit my ancestors were rats and lizards? Not gonna believe you...
What I always find interesting is that people sort of assume that evolution has stopped, at least for humans. When in fact, not only has natural evolution not stopped, but humans are also going to speed it up by mixing man and machines. We have been around for a very short period of time, and when you only talk about the rise of civilization that is so short in this time scale a blink of an eye doesn't even describe it correctly.
Humans are not necessarily going to evolve for thousands of years. That would require continued survival, which would require a habitable planet.
"Humans" might be around, even after whatever disaster you want to name. It is civilization that is really endanger.

Çünkü öldüğünüz zaman size asla başka bir şans daha verilmeyecek. Sizden hiç bir ücret isteyen olmayacak. Eğer kesin bir inanış ile Evreni Yaratana yönelirseniz sizi kabul edecektir.
There is no such thing as the creator of the universe. If you want to believe in made up things, go right ahead, but don't impose the nonsense you believe on others. Keep your preaching to yourself.

You don't give a baby steak and Bronze Age people weren't ready for the truth of evolution. What the Bible does have is deeply spiritual meaning through allegory.
Nope. Nada. Darwin's theory was not evolution, it was survival of the fittest. The species never changed, simular to humans in different parts of the world having different characteristics, that's what happens to animals that find a new home. It's the same species of bird with a larger beak. It's the same monkey with a longer tail.
In addition, these visuals can be applied for a variety of uses. They are ideal for foregrounding important events in a historical period. They help us understand how certain occurrences interconnect and influence each other and how they have affected the world.
By using infographics, number-heavy statistics can be made more interesting, and adding diagrams and short text makes them easier to process and remember.

Teachers can also use them as assignments for homework. Giving students a long text and letting them transform it into something more appealing provides them with the opportunity to be more creative and shakes up the ordinary routine.
While doing it, they also conduct research and try different applications of information. As a result, learners demonstrate critical thinking by filtering data, identifying patterns, and presenting carefully curated projects.

As for the aesthetic part, a step in the right direction would be choosing the right fonts. Two are more than enough – one for the title and one for the body text. A more fun and decorative one can be used for the header, while the remaining information can be formatted with a simpler one so it’s easily readable. The typeface should also reflect the topic. Storytelling that’s more youthful and entertaining deserves a font that portrays this.

The same goes for colors – try to keep them visually appealing and stick with three or four that work well together. Finally, the goal with these visual aids is to portray data in a simple way, so don’t overcrowd it. Leave plenty of space between images and statistics, and use as little text as possible.
