Since Darwin's discovery, the following 150 years has produced just one recorded example of the evolution sequence meme that was even slightly good. Here it is. Soak it up because it all goes seriously downhill from here.
As a high-water mark it's not exactly laugh out loud. It gets even worse if that meme is focused on snowboarding. It's the visual equivalent of a dad joke - mildly amusing the first time, but when it's then mercilessly repeated for years it becomes a unique form of torture. The first time this meme occurred in snowboarding was in this Hot Snowboards badge.
Remember Hot Snowboards? No? Exactly
That's some antiquated looking snowboarding right there:
This specific version appeared on About.com's Wordless Wednesday, where the publicised aim of that feature was defeated by them adding this description; "The world, according to Darwin the snowboarder."

Or across your tits
Extra points for just smashing together some jarringly unrelated clip art.
Just in case this wasn't clear enough let me spell out the joke
The Top 4 things you can buy if you want to rock this crappy meme:
3. The poorly aligned iPhone case
2. The pacifier the meme was never going to fit on in the first place
And the winner is:
1. The horrific sky-blue polyester tie resplendent with multiple images of a screamingly camp snowboarder
It's just 63 days until you unwrap this beauty on Christmas morning.
