The pharyngula stage of fetal development when all vertebrates resemble each other:

Which one looks the most delicious? 😁

They all look like sea monkeys to me

Is chimp saying we all evolved from a common sea monkey?

Some of us never made it past the sea monkey phase. 😇

I expect some creatard to be along any moment now mumbling about his/her fucking god.

From wiki:

"At the pharyngula stage, all vertebrate embryos show remarkable similarities, i.e., it is a "phylotypic stage" of the sub-phylum,[3] containing the following features:

• notochord
  
• dorsal hollow nerve cord
  
• post-anal tail, and
  
• a series of paired branchial grooves.
  

The branchial grooves are matched on the inside by a series of paired gill pouches. In fish, the pouches and grooves eventually meet and form the gill slits, which allow water to pass from the pharynx over the gills and out the body.
In the other vertebrates, the grooves and pouches disappear. In humans, the chief trace of their existence is the eustachian tube and auditory canal which (interrupted only by the eardrum) connect the pharynx with the outside of the head."

Nature is cool! Human embryos with tails and gill pouches.

With a little wasabi and gari they all look good.
