Icons of Evolution - Cover Picture

Cover Picture

The book's title is a reference to the famous picture March of Progress. This drawing, by Rudolph Zallinger, was published in the Time-Life book Early Man in 1965 and shows a sequence of primates walking from left to right, starting with a non-human ape on the left, progressing through a series of hominids, and finishing with a modern human on the right. A version of the drawing is on the cover of the book, and Wells describes it as the "ultimate icon" of evolution.

Famous quotes containing the words cover and/or picture:

    When you are listening to music it is better to cover your eyes than your ears.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    no picture is made to endure nor to live with
    but it is made to sell and sell quickly

    is thy bread ever more of stale rags
    is thy bread dry as paper,
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
