"Evolutionary War" is the seventh episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season three, and the twenty-seventh overall. It aired on September 4, 2005 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Adam Pava, Michael Ouweleer, and Erik Richter, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera character ridiculed in this episode is Captain Caveman.
Representing Captain Caveman and his son in court to prove evolution exists so it can be taught in the latter's class, Harvey questions his own place on the evolution line.
Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Peter Potamus: Is that you, Birdman?
Harvey: Now is not a good time.
Peter Potamus: You got that thing I sent you?
Harvey: No. No, I didn't. I never get that thing you send me. I've never gotten that thing you sent me... and I'm beginning to wonder whether you ever once sent me anything. While I'm at it... If I had gotten that thing you sent me--ever--I doubt I'd be interested in what it said.
Peter Potamus: He got that thing I sent him!

Behind the scenes
- This is the first appearance of Cavey Junior since The Flintstone Kids episode "Captain Cavedog" in 1988.
- The ending of the last episode, "Beyond the Valley of the Dinosaurs", gives Phil a minor C-plot for this episode, where spends all his time fighting dinosaurs brought over from the hot tub time machine portal.
- The sequence during Harvey's song lampoons the Disney films Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
- Mentok says, "Chisel me this, chiseler," the same way Riddler was known to say, "Riddle me this, Batman."
- The joke of two of the strippers being called Pixie and Dixie is a reference to the mouse duo stars of The Huckleberry Hound Show. Dixie is also referred to as "Little Dixie."
