Charles Darwin caricature and Alfred Russel Wallace caricature
This cartoon is a redrawn version of the iconic caricature of Charles Darwin as an ape.
Here I've added Alfred Russel Wallace, who thought of the theory of evolution
by natural selection independently to Darwin (and who never gets very much credit for the fact).
I've also placed the pair of them in a tree, symbolic of both the fact that we descended from the trees and
of the concept of the tree of life with all of its evolutionary branches.
