I don't usually respond to posts, because I don't have a glamour portfolio; therefore I don't post images with my words. I suspect you will react as most others do when I reply...that is ignore it, or berate me for not posting an image. However I do have one comment. I'm not sure that evolution is the perfect title for your series.
You refer to wars, conflicts, racism, religious fanaticism, etc. But these are not products of evolution, but rather "civilization" or "humanity".
Evolution refers to the physical advancement of an organism. Single cell to muti-cell; aquatic to terrestrial, that kind of thing. From an evolutionary perspective, we (Humans, Homo Sapien) are not much more evolved than our predecessors Cro-Magnon or even the Neandertal. But we are more civilized and technologically advanced.
Wars, conflict, genocide, racism, etc., are all products of the "civilization" of humans. And this "civilization" is imperfect and incomplete. The extinction of species IS a product of evolution...always has been, always will be.
But semantics be damned the images are compelling and thought provoking (as evidenced by the fact that I felt compelled to reply). Great work!
Just my opinion. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I'll shut up now and go back to my proper place as a lurker.
Thanks,
