Well, evolution is a good guess, but not the right one. Although your approach is very good, and in line with the right answer, you’re still overthinking it. All the pics have 1 thing in common, that’s all you need to find.
To make it easier (or maybe harder, who knows?), here’s a final set of pics with the same thing in common.
You now have 13 pics with 1 thing in common. Can you guess it?
P.S. If you want to think of evolution, think of how it all started 
It all started with the big bang.
So what do all these pics have in common then?
I thought all started with a kiss, like for Meghan and Harry.
Could it be the “Big Bang Theory”?
Well done! All the pics are taken from the intro of The Big Bang Theory. 
Well done.
Thanks. I really liked that one.
Find the link between the movies
1.The lord of the rings… King Kong… & Dawn of the planet of the apes
2. Avatar… Star Trek …& Guardians of the Galaxy
The pics reminded me strongly of something, especially the pyramids, the Taj Majal and the all-seeing eye, but I couldnt remember what it was. LOL Other pics you posted confused me, because I hadn’t noticed them in the intro. It is so quick!
It is like seeing somebody you certainly know from somewhere, but you can’t say who it is or where you met them. You think it is your neighbour and then it is George Clooney (I wish LOL).
I liked it very much, thank you Maya!
I knew Zoe Saldana was in all of them but I didn’t know her name, had to look it up 
Gollum was easier though 
We loves it!
What is the common bond between:
Quince, Iris, Ghost, Berkeley and the Duchess of York?
Denmark ?
Not really. 
Try again.
Shakespeare?
They’re all Shakespearean characters.
Absolutely correct! Very well done!
Quince = A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Iris = The Tempest
Ghost = Hamlet
Berkeley = Richard II
Duchess of York = Richard III
