Pharyngula: There is no one simple evolution story:
I've never liked this stereotypical portrayal of evolution.
It implies that evolution is linear, that it is going somewhere, and of course, that it is all about people — all the wrong messages. Yet it is ubiquitous, and probably the most common rendering you'll find anywhere. Try googling for images of evolution, and you will turn it up, or variants on it, or jokes built on it…it's a bit annoying and trite.
(Although, when I googled to find that image — which was easy — I also found this one.

Very nice. I like it.)
