Came across this wonderful ‘tool’ that the Open University have created in honour of Darwin’s 200th birthday. (Happy birthday, Charlie!). ‘Devolve Me’ allows you to upload your picture and see how you would have looked as an early human.

Also of note is Tinker the cat at £450,000 and the late Queen Mum’s sheep.
