Darwin Evolution Caricature - Historical Satire on Human Origins #76331 (License: Personal Use)

This iconic 1871 lithograph, published in *The Hornet* magazine, caricatures Charles Darwin with his recognizable beard and balding head grafted onto a stooping, hairy ape body holding a staff. The image reflects widespread public ridicule and moral anxiety surrounding Darwin’s *Descent of Man*, published the same year, and captures the cultural tension between science and religious orthodoxy in Victorian England.

Used in educational articles, museum exhibits, and historical analyses about the reception of evolutionary theory; serves users seeking visual context for 19th-century scientific controversies or satire in science communication.
