The other As it is in Heaven cover
This was another "cover" concept I had floating around in my mind. It's always good to have one that is completely SFW and not even mildly horny. The concept itself I thought was quite fun. We see Morris as a monkey of some kind, and then australopithecus, homo habilis, homo erectus, and then the homo sapien Morris we are all familiar with. One thing that is perhaps interesting is that I recall hearing that the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees may not have knuckle walked like chimpanzees do. Most animals that walk on all fours do so using the bottoms of their hands, not the tops. This may indicate that bipedalism evolved BEFORE humans split with today's great apes, most of whom knuckle walk -- which in this scenario would be something that developed after their lineage split from ours and would thereby render my silly cover here inaccurate to the progression of simian evolution. But I'm certain that's just a theory for now. But it does hilight how human-centric we are... of course we assumed bipedalism is the "end" of progress in that sphere and thereby couldn't possibly imagine (until very recently) that something that once walked on two legs would again adapt to walk mainly on four again. But that's evoltuion for you, baby!
In fact, on that subject, did you know my childhood fear, the monster I always imagined to be under my bed at night, was actually an australopithecus? I remember seeing some program on the Science Channel or National Geographic channel (both of which I was OBSESSED with as a kid) that had a particularly uncanny-valley reconstruction of an australopithecus that activated the right combination of brain cells that made me afraid of the dark for the next few years. Now, as an adult, this is all very silly to me. If an australopithecus were to enter my bedroom I'm sure we'd both just chill, like I don't even think they were particularly carnivorous and anyhow I am larger than them (albeit by a small margin as I am basically as short as adult able-bodied homo sapiens in the 21st century come). But childhood fears are beyond logic and I probably had a nasty anxiety disorder as a child that I wouldn't even notice until I was an adult. But I'm not about to go into all of that.
