Darwin‘s scientific theory of the evolution of species through natural selection starts from the premise that an organism’s traits vary in a non-deterministic way from parent to offspring. The “Generation Z” toddler depicts her genealogy and the evolution toward her future. “Generation Z” also represents the last alphabet of the flashcard. Natural selection is conditions (or “nature”) that determine (or “select”) how well particular traits of organisms can serve the survival and reproduction of the organism.

The prevailing conditions of the toddler are represented by “Icons” in each flashcard of the painting. Collectively, they form the “Ecology” which surrounds her. Natural selection does not distinguish between ecological selection and sexual selection, as it is concerned with traits, on which both may operate simultaneously. The artist feels that the near-term goal is to ensure that the toddler’s or Generation Z’s traits can interact and withstand the “Ecology” through the means of good education represented by the “Flashcards.” The form of good education encompasses not only good educators but also significant parental roles in the family domains.

达尔文关于通过物竞天择进行物种进化的科学理论，其前提是生物体的特征从亲代到后代以非确定性方式变化。“Z 世代”这幅画幼儿描绘了她的家谱和未来的演变。 “Z世代”也代表抽认卡的最后一个字母。物竞天择是决定（或“选择”）生物体的特定性状如何更好地服务于生物体的生存和繁殖的条件（或“自然”）。

画中每张抽认卡中的“图标”代表了幼儿的环境与社会情况。 它们共同构成了她周围的“生态”。自然选择并不区分生态选择和性选择，因为它与特征有关，而生态选择和性选择可能同时起作用。艺术家认为，近期目标是通过“抽认卡”等良好的教育手段，确保幼儿或Z世代的特质能够与“生态”相互作用并经受住“生态”的考验。 良好的教育形式不仅包括优秀的教育者，还包括父母在家庭领域的重要作用。
