Nice. Now can anyone find the original image so that I can actually see what's going on? Very hard to make out anything behind the layers and layers of compression, recompression, screenshots, and compression again.

What you need is more jpeg.

Neil Shubin, the OP, authored a book titled Your Inner Fish that includes original art by Kalliopi Monoyios. The image is from his book. His X post, which I will not link, is the original source of the image. At the height of it's popularity, there was a website yourinnerfish.com that featured the image as well, but it is no more.
