Common Descent

A black and white portrait of Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist, and evolutionary theorist. Darwin is depicted with a pensive expression, his eyes averted from the viewer. He is dressed in a dark suit and has a long white beard. His left hand is holding a book, and his right arm is draped around a chimpanzee, who is looking directly at the viewer with an almost human-like expression. The background is a dark, neutral color, which helps to focus attention on Darwin and the chimpanzee. This poignant and thought-provoking portrait captures Darwin's profound impact on our understanding of the natural world and our place in it.Read more
