      2/ The first avatar, Matsya, is a fish that lives in the ocean. We now know that life originated in the oceans and fish came before land-based animals.

      3/ The second avatar, Kurma, is a turtle, an amphibian that is making its first tentative attempts at living on land, without giving up the comfort zone of water.

      5/ The fourth avatar is Narasimha, half-beast half-man, indicating the fact that animals evolved slowly into Homo Erectus

      6/ The fifth avatar, Vamana the Dwarf, is short and stunted. Australopithecus, anyone?

      7/ The sixth avatar, Parshuram, is a fully built, strong, warrior, who fights alone, and is driven by base emotions (mostly anger and revenge). From this point on, we are going to see the evolution from animal instincts to social behaviors

      8/ The seventh avatar, Rama, is the guy who follows the rules of the society, in letter and in spirit (mostly, except for one moment of weakness during the Vali situation) It is interesting to note that "guy who follows all the rules" is not the most advanced human, because...

      9/ The next avatar, Krishna, is the guy who does whatever is necessary to get things done. He is the practical guy who knows all the rules, and knows when you should break the rules to get the right result.

      10/ I don't know what's going on with the ninth avatar, but it's a mess. (And no, I'm not interested in discussing it. Don't @ me.) But clearly, the tenth avatar is climatechangeavtar, and is coming to punish you for your sins. /end

      Just to be clear, I am not saying that the ancient Vedic writers knew about the theory of evolution. Just pointing out that the parallels are amazing. Who put them in this order, and what was his thought process, I wonder?

      Replying to @ngkabra

      Biblical sequence of creation is also roughly that. I think it’s just simple to complex: Day 1: Light Day 2: Atmosphere / Firmament Day 3: Dry ground & plants Day 4: Sun, moon & stars Day 5: Birds & sea animals Day 6: Land animals & humans Day 7: The Sabbath of rest
