Evolution of life done in flash.



So there's this fellow named John Kyrk, who has gone
to great lengths to recreate various aspects of
biology in flash (glycolysis, meiosis, Krebs etc.).
One of them is a fantastic run through the evolution
of life starting from the Big Bang.

It looks like it might make for a great teaching aide.
Especially for anyone looking to give their students a
firm grasp on just how much time has passed.

The one downside is that once one gets to the
Mesozoic, there is so much going on that it almost
comes off as too busy. Still it gets the point across.
