Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
1863 Huxley from Ape to Man, age-toned
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 illustration, age-toned to evoke a sense of historical significance. The image is a frontis engraving by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, featured in the first edition of Thomas Henry Huxley's renowned book "Evidences as to Man's Place in Nature". Published as a response to Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, Huxley presents compelling evidence supporting the theory that humans descended from apes. While many interpret this image as depicting a linear progression of evolution, its true intention lies in illustrating ordered variation in limb bones and posture among primate skeletons. It also highlights the striking skeletal similarities within this group. Interestingly, this artwork served as an inspiration for Rudolph Zallinger's iconic Time-Life image titled "The Road to Homo Sapiens" published in 1965 under the Nature Library Early Man series. This famous depiction has come to be known as "The March of Progress". Notably, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins was renowned for his pioneering reconstructions of dinosaurs but held lectures opposing Darwinian evolution. His artistic talent shines through in this thought-provoking piece that continues to spark discussions on human origins and our place within nature. Paul D. Stewart expertly captures the essence and historical significance of this remarkable artwork through his skillful photography.
