Evolution through hands

As someone with an incredibly short attention span, I've been thinking of lots of things lately, from the classics to history, biology, existentialism, love, to math, fractals and infinity.

And the ideas of fractals and evolution reminded me of the weird video below, portraying the history of the evolution of life on earth, so I thought I'd share with you.

And just in case that proves a little too disturbing for you, you can always watch a beautiful 5-minute animation of how evolution really does seem to have played out (based on the fossil record), accompanied by the awesome sound of some Nine Inch Nails.

Creeped out?
