Life… it began a long long time ago and it evolved into something in constant mutation. With that concept in mind, 1998′s Vogue Paris featured this editorial by Herb Ritts, an interesting study about the parallels between fashion trends and the evolution of the human species.
Do you think, we’re we done with evolution? Or are there still some changes ahead for the human race, as we know it? And if so, will these be borne out of Mother Nature’s whims, or will it be a consequence of mankind’s insatiable desire to mess with the environment?
Food for thought, something to ponder…
Big Bang (15 000 000 000 years)
Somewhere in the universe: Earth (approximately 5 000 0000 000 years)
(this McQueen dress likes popping up in unusual settings)
First stages of life: one cell (approximately 3 500 0000 000 years)
Appearance of vertebrates: the fish (500 0000 000 years)
Leaving water, they become reptiles (235 000 000 years)
Environmental adaptation: from scales to feathers (180 000 000 years)
Claws and wings: new conquistador tools
Decisive stage: the appearance of our great ancestors (from 22 to 10 000 000 years)
Last stage of evolution: homo erectus (approximately 2 000 000 years)
