The skull of an ape at Darwins house
Darwins ape skull. View of the skull of an ape at Down house, Kent, England, where Charles Darwin (1809-1882) lived for the last 40 years of his life. It was at this house that he wrote his revolutionary work On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859), and he did all his major thinking and writing there. The ape skull is one of a number of specimens Darwin brought back from his travels around the world. While travelling, he observed wildlife, and developed the idea that small changes which occur in species tend to prevail if they are beneficial to them. This lead to the idea that humans evolved from apes. Down House is now open to the public

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the skull of an ape, a significant specimen found at Down House in Kent, England. This historic residence served as Charles Darwin's home for four decades and was where he penned his groundbreaking work, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" in 1859. The house became a sanctuary for Darwin's profound contemplation and prolific writing. The ape skull featured here is just one among numerous specimens collected by Darwin during his extensive travels around the world. As he ventured into diverse ecosystems, observing wildlife firsthand, he began formulating the notion that advantageous small changes within species tend to endure over time. This revolutionary concept eventually led him to propose that humans evolved from apes. Down House has now been opened to the public, allowing visitors to step into the very space where this remarkable scientific journey unfolded. It stands as a testament to Darwin's immense contributions to evolutionary biology and serves as a reminder of how ideas can shape our understanding of life on Earth. This awe-inspiring photograph captures not only the physical remnants of an ancient primate but also symbolizes the intellectual legacy left behind by one of history's most influential scientists.
