On the way to Tirumala from Tirupati, we saw idols of various incarnations of Lord Vishnu. W were able to recognise a few, the rest we could not. so i called up my Dad to find out the names of all of Vishnu's incarnations in the right sequence. My dad told me not just the names but also the logic behind the sequence in which all these incarnations occured.
1. A fish, Matsya, a creature that lived in water.
2. A tortoise, Kashyap, a creature that lived both in water and on land.
3. A Pig, varaha, a creature living only on land.
4. Narasimha, a creature that was half animal, half human.
5. Vamana, the first completely human avatar.
So the evolution happened from a creature living in water to a human.
after this there were 4 incarnations, all humans
6. Parasu Rama
7. Rama
8. Krishna
9. Buddha
The last one which is yet to come is Kalki.
