I was looking around the net for some more lolcats this morning and came across a sceptics site I have not seen before - and there was a a lolcat there I will post separately. But the site is pretty interesting too. It's here, and here's a graphic I got from there too.

I hate that diagram. Even in the original evolutionary context...
And how exactly is monotheism more 'advanced', sophisticated, or subsequent to polytheism and tribal animism???
This is done by people who fail Phylogenetics 101... :pissed:

Well there's a built in assumption from your statement that evolution implies progress. It doesn't really - just change and adaptation to the environment and surroundings. To that extent the diagram is representational I would say.
