Visualize 4B Years: The Trillions of Generations: LUCA to Modern Human

Scrolled for like a minute in both Chrome and FF nothing happened except my finger got really tired. The numbers moved but all I see is a picture of a young child. Not sure what is supposed to happen.....

Where are the images sourced from? I'm not necessarily against AI illustrations... but making recreations of extinct species right is a tricky multidisciplinary thing, not something AI can do well without a great deal of tweaking and domain-specific knowledge. If it's AI, it would be good to know the prompts and what specific features they mention, because then we'd know the actual methodology.

Edit: Don't waste your time scrolling. The images are a complete joke. There are some bad recreations out there - these are worse than you can imagine.

It works, I got 16mya in 5 minutes, one swipe is like 10000 years. My first thought was it should be faster but no, it should be slow to really show the scale. While I was scrolling I was hearing "age of war" soundtrack in my mind.

I made a tool to help us visualize how many generations of life on Earth it took to get to you. From the LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) bubble to modern Human (some scrolling required!)
