I’m going to nitpick even harder - Who says it’s a ladder depicting evolution? Maybe this framing subconsciously slipped into your way of thinking? It could be a ladder depicting of how the author regards creatures in terms of moral ability or even price per pound of entity. I’ll go one further, the inclusion of “God” on the ladder indicates that it’s not an evolutionary ladder.
My point is about the conceptual framing of a ladder leading to a narrow frame of view about evolution, not that this particular meme is portraying itself literally as an evolutionary ladder.
