"Ape/Man Evolution" panoramic tour poster from Pearl Jam's 2000 Binaural US Tour.
The artwork represents a statement on human evolution, specifically highlighting the minimal genetic difference (often cited as approximately 1% of DNA) that separates apes from humans. This specific "Ape/Man" design was a popular motif for the band during this era and was also featured on stickers and bumper stickers sold at concert venues.
