“transitional fossils”At what point in the evolutionary timescale did x become y?On a timescale that we can grasp, at what point does an infant become a toddler, become a child, become an adolescent, become a man? gradual changes over time
I have long contended that ontogeny etc. continues behaviorly after birth: fish wiggling, to lizard crawling, to mammalian quadruped walking (knees rather than hind feet), to bipedal with the skill of a gibbon (but arms out rather than up), but he left out thd next stage – they go arborial and try to climb everything!

He seems a little slow. I doubt it took me 6 months to get into the dogfood.

More like “Progeny recapitulates phylogeny.”

Personally, it looks like “Survival of the Fattest” to me – he is huge by the last panel…

It looks like some people here have had evolution withheld from them in school.
