1:50 model box
Are we, as humans, evolving or regressing? To truly understand the world, we must also consider the hidden half that someone may have concealed.

Darwin's Tortoise addresses the question i always ask to myself clearly, prompting us to consider whether humanity, in its quest for progress—through war, atomic bombs, and other advancements—is genuinely evolving or merely accumulating scars along the way. This question about evolution versus regression resonated deeply.
