Must. Not. Rant. About. Directionalism.
Still funny though
At least it shows two simultaneous lines, instead of everything progressing towards humans.

The cartoon does get common ancestry right and depicts humans and arthropods as equally ‘advanced/evolved’ cousins. It just neglects all the other branching.
