sense of immediacy. We follow the founder of the Theater of
Spontaneity, Jacob Moreno, who proposed stringing together "now and then
flashes" to unfetter illusion and let imagination run free. The images
we have collected for this series came at a tremendous price, which we explained previously.] |

Here's George du Maurier's illustration of Darwinism from Punch, 1878. "Without use, an organ dwindles; with use it increases. For instance, the organ of a grinder who, in the struggle for existence, relies entirely on his instrument, is invariably larger than that of the grinder who, in addition uses a monkey. Most of our readers must have noticed this."

Q: "A question for the Darwinians. If nature develops limbs and faculties in response to the demand, why isn't a Dutch hound provided with feet amidships?" —Grip, 1891.
A: Ask again once the Darwinists account for that pesky organism that hasn't evolved for over 2 billion years (beyond desperately calling it the exception that proves the rule). (And don't bring up the horseshoe crab's 450-million recess from evolution.)

The concept of de-evolution is that humankind is regressing, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society. The idea was developed in the late 1960s by the founders of the band Devo. Could they have been inspired by this 1964 episode of Bewitched? |

"In the psychological development of the child, there is a step-by-step progression from the primal smile to the smile of embarrassment, joyful laughter, laughter at a comic situation, laughter in a group, aggressive laughter at an outsider, and finally (a somewhat depressing climax) the laugher of Schadenfreude. ... [A]t each step laughter signifies an experience of relief ( Entlastung), both physically and psychologically." — Peter Berger, Redeeming Laughter: The Comic Dimension of Human Experience (1997)
The evolution of the smile and laugh, from Frans de Waal's "Darwin's Legacy and the Study of Primate Visual Communication" ( PDF), via Cystalpunk.
