Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 1863 Huxley from Ape to Man evolution, a significant illustration in the study of human origins. The image features an ordered series of primate skeletons, meticulously engraved by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins for the first edition of Thomas Huxley's "Evidences as to Mans Place in Nature". Published as a response to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work "On the Origin of Species". Huxley presented compelling evidence supporting man's descent from apes. While often interpreted as representing a linear progression, this artwork primarily aims to demonstrate variations in limb bones and posture among primates, highlighting their striking skeletal similarities. Interestingly, this iconic engraving later served as inspiration for Rudolph Zallinger's renowned Time-Life image titled "The Road to Homo Sapiens" popularly known as "The March of Progress". Notably recognized for his pioneering dinosaur reconstructions, artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins held contrasting views on Darwinian evolution and even lectured against it. Nevertheless, his artistic talent shines through in this thought-provoking piece that continues to fascinate scientists and enthusiasts alike. Paul D. Stewart skillfully captures the essence of this historical artwork through his photography expertise. This stunning monochrome print invites viewers into a visual journey exploring our evolutionary past while honoring the scientific contributions made by figures like Huxley and Hawkins.
