Human Evolution: Homo Digitalis
The Natural History Museum has revised its exhibition on human evolution and reopened it to the public. It shows the development of primates and the first bipedal species such as the Australopithecus through the first representatives of the genus Homo such as Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus or the Neanderthals. The last in line is Homo Sapiens, modern humans. The exhibition also depicts the use of tools that shape human evolution: hand axes, fire and weapons such as spears.
Another thing that defines human evolution is the increasing upright walking. A father who wanders away from his family, bent over his mobile phone, becomes an involuntary part of the exhibition. It symbolizes the latest stage of evolution that is characterized by a hunched posture and the use of digital devices. His wife doesn't seem too impressed by his phone addiction...
I also included a little Easter egg related to the previous challenge :)
