Lovely Bones: The Art of Evolution

Gorilla ribcage, bird, bat, elephant femur and hummingbird, fish, pygmy armadillo, shrew (look closely at the verts), mole, elephant face.

another reminder.

the world is heavy but your bones (just a cubic inch) can hold 19,000 lbs

ounce for ounce they are stronger than steel

atom for atom you are more precious than diamond

and stars have died so that you may live

you need to remember these things when you say that you are weak and worthless

Jacques Fabien Gautier D’Agoty (1710-1781)
