[edit] Help with aligning box

After I added an upper right figure to History of evolutionary thought this template no longer appeared aligned flush with the right hand edge of the page. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? Rusty Cashman (talk) 22:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I found a fix. Rusty Cashman (talk) 22:55, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] image

A good faith editor changed the image with a comment, "feel free to revert." I reverted. The image was the popular one recapitulating human ancestry in terms of shorter and less upright species. Aside from being homo-centric, this image suggests that evolution is unilineal and teleological - points that educated biology teachers have to waste endless amounts of time arguing against. It is a distorted image of evolution and one we should not be perpetuating. The prior image shows not only that hominids are a tiny piece of the family of all living things, it shows how the multiplication of species takes many different forms in many different directions. I can't imagine a better illustration (except maybe a very old bacterium sitting on a couch with a very large photo-album entitled "All My Children") Slrubenstein | Talk 13:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, a good faith editor changed the current image to a smaller version of the same, and another editor changed it to the image you mention, with no edit summary. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Ahh. Thank you for correcting me! Slrubenstein | Talk 17:32, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I made the second change. My view is that the current tree of life image is not appropriate for the evolution template. The text is unreadable at the scale it is shown in the template, and the image is not instantly recognizable as relating to evolution by a large percentage of readers. In contrast, the human evolution image is instantly recognizable by most people as connoting evolution, and this is the purpose of the image in the template.
