The drawings are weird yet captivating; it's really hard not to stare too closely.
Not all interesting things have to be beautiful. At times, even peculiar things can keep us humans intrigued as well.
One Japanese illustrator uses his imagination to create intricately drawn and strange illustrations. In a series of artworks, he depicted how humans would look if they had bones and poses like animals.
Today, we're looking at those weird yet fascinating drawings. He included the animals' anatomical structures as well.
Kawasaki is popular for his meticulous illustrations of futuristic, modern, and extinct animals. He focuses on the topics of evolution and paleontology, both factual and theoretical.
According to the Japanese illustrator, he became a true artist after he started his own website and blog. He has always wanted to draw, as he states.
Kawasaki includes reading books and conducting internet research to develop different ideas for his drawings. He added that every illustration he produces takes varying amounts of time.
His drawing speed depends on the necessary details and context. For Kawasaki, he has no choice but to continue drawing.
As of this writing, Kawasaki has 25.8K followers on Twitter. His thousands of followers prove that many people are impressed by his nature drawings.

14. Beethoven's technique to overcome his deafness
Unlike the ones above, this isn't an illustration of an animal-like human. However, it does illustrate how Beethoven was able to create music despite being deaf.
Sound transmission occurs in two ways: one is by air vibration, and the other is by bone vibration.
Beethoven was able to make music because of a phenomenon called bone conduction. It's similar to what dolphins do underwater.

Hybrids of animals and humans are nothing new in the scientific world.
They're no longer just for expressing one's creativity. In fact, scientists are already looking into such developments so that they can produce the necessary organs for transplants.
The list of organ donors has been growing in recent years. There are simply not enough donors for people who need them in time.
Japan's Medical Xpress reports that the country recently lifted the ban on creating human-animal hybrids. It approved the appeal of experts from the University of Tokyo to produce a human-mouse hybrid.
The objective of these scientists is to allow the human pancreas to grow within a mouse. While this isn't similar to the fusion of mice with people, science is getting closer to creating a real-life chimera.
Naturally, such research is often questioned ethically. People want to draw the line between what is morally acceptable and what is not.
If you consider the results alone, you'll see that the purpose of such studies is to save more lives. However, people are dangerously close to interfering with nature in ways that our conscience cannot accept.
