We finished evolving when we started walking upright — when we went from being hunter/gatherers to what we are today. But after that, it’s all been a matter of extrapolation. But we still stick to what we’ve always done. We eat. We mate. And we rule. But the main thing is that from cave times on, we have drawn pictures. Even before we wrote words we drew pictures.

And at this point, we’ve stopped doing that." -- Frank Miller
