Thanks, Coyote! Any chance you could explain to me why the skulls seem to be front-views and side views? I'm assuming that the vertical scale is time.

No idea of why the various views were selected.

The vertical is time.

It is hard finding good representations of these things, as most journal articles dealing with the subject use text or mathematics rather than graphics. In evolutionary studies, many of the comparative articles in the past 20 years have relied on statistics for comparisons, particularly multivariate statistics. That does not make for very sexy graphics.

Well I don't need it in graphic form. Any form will do, as long as it contains the information of which species descended from which, and as long as I can then go look up each one and find out all about what was found.

We do know which species descended from which species, right?

Thanks,
