20 Comparisons That Shook the World
People tend to compare things all the time. According to science, human judgment is, by nature, comparative and we rely on this way of thinking to evaluate a wide set of situations and qualities. So, imagine a human hand next to a bear paw skeleton, a building before and after a mural, or a basketball player next to a gymnast. Visual comparisons can be truly mind-blowing, so here are some photos that confirm this statement to be true.
