Homology (of Common Descent), c1920
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the fascinating similarities in the forelimbs of different species. In this intriguing image, we are presented with two distinct creatures - a monkey and a whale - whose forelimbs may appear vastly different at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that they share a similar underlying architecture. The detailed engraving highlights various anatomical features of these forelimbs. We can observe the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna bones, as well as the wrist and palm with its accompanying fingers. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how evolution has shaped these structures across different organisms. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and his concept of homology. It underscores the idea that diverse species can possess common ancestry despite their apparent differences. By examining such homologous structures within nature, scientists gain valuable insights into our shared evolutionary history. Dating back to the 1920s, this monochrome print from Oxford Science Archive provides us with an invaluable glimpse into scientific exploration during that era. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire curiosity about the intricate workings of life on Earth and reminds us of our connection to all living beings through our shared genetic heritage.
