Framed Print of 1863 Huxley from Ape to Man evolution
Ordered series of primate skeletons. The Frontis engraving by Waterhouse Hawkins from the first edition of Huxleys 1863 Evidences as to Mans Place in Nature'. In this book Huxley presented his evidence that man was descended from the apes. It was published in reaction to Darwins On the Origin of Species 1859. Though this image is often interpreted as indicating a line of descent, it is more intended to show ordered variation in limb bones and posture as well as the clear skeletal similarities in the group. The image has been quoted as an inspiration for Rudolph Zalingers famous Time-Life 1965 image The Road to Homo Sapiens (page 40-45, Nature Library Early Man). That iconic image has become known as The March of Progress'. The artist for this work, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, was famous for his pioneering dinosaur reconstructions but lectured against Darwinian evolution. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © This image is Paul D. Stewart 2009. Do not reproduce without permission of the photographer at
