Maybe this one of Darwin in his more mature years should say 'stand back, I've done some great science'. This photoshop by Anthony Smith for which many thanks. Anthony is a zoology graduate, artist and sculptor with a studio at Christ's College Cambridge, where Darwin got a degree in between enjoying himself and persecuting the local beetles. Christ's wish to celebrate their famous graduate in bronze, and have commissioned Anthony to produce a sculpture. Go visit Anthony's
website. Check out the
squid and the
young Linnaeus. There are not enough graven images of Darwin in the world. There should be one in every biology lab in the country of his birth for a start.
