15 Satirical Evolution Cartoons That Will Make You Question Our Progress
Statistically, very few argue against the theory of evolution, and the continuing file of shapes evolving from tape to man has become an indelible mark in the public consciousness. With that said, many an artist used it to various effects in their work, from gentle humor to scathing satire. Here are some of the best examples that we found on the web.
Charles Robert Darwin, a 19th-century English naturalist and geologist, was already somewhat famous for his published journals about his travels on the HMS Beagle. However, the data collected in that trip lead him to develop his theory of evolution and natural selection in On The Origin Of Species. While his wasn’t the only theory floating around, it eventually triumphed and made Darwin one of the most influential scientists of all time.

University Students Make A 3D Printer That Prints Soil And Grass
The future means printing your own garden. Yes, that’s the idea behind printGreen designed by the students at University of Maribor. It’s a CNC machine (which means it’s entirely computer controlled) that prints using a mixture of grass seeds, soil and water. The images will sprout grass later on, making for some crazy green designs. As long as clay soil and small seeds are used, anyways – the former for better printing, the latter to fit through the nozzle!
The project was made by a student group headed by prof. Dušan Zidar of the University Of Maribor, Slovenia. The group was comprised of Maja Petek, Tina Zidanšek, Urška Skaza, Danica Rženičnik and Simon Tržan. The project website states that “Print Green transverses the term ‘think, before you print’ as the used motto and turns it into the slogan of an alternative modern society – “print, because it is green”.
