In the artist's words

Before separation and segregation into species the DNA underwent many stages, giving stranger living things like a woman with peacock feather legs, horse with leaves from branches of trees, all formed by microbial parts, so many are seen in the sketch. A stage in evolution seen with surrealistic eyes.
