Summary

Description
English: Caricature of Darwin's theory in the Punch almanac for 1882, published at the end of 1881 when Charles Darwin had recently published his last book, The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms.
Deutsch: Karikatur von Darwins Theorie in dem "Punch Almanach" für 1882, der am Ende des Jahres 1881 veröffentlicht wurde, als Charles Darwin kürzlich sein letztes Buch, Die Bildung der Ackererde durch die Thätigkeit der Würmer veröffentlicht hatte. Im vermeintlichen Steinhaufen in der linken unteren Bildecke lässt sich das Wort "Chaos" lesen, ein Verweis auf die Kontingenz evolutionärer Entwicklungsprozesse (Teleonomie), die nicht nur zu Lebzeiten Darwins im Konflikt mit einer Zielgerichtetheit der Entwicklungsgeschichte (Teleologie) stehen, bspw. in Schöpfungs-Mythen und dem Kreatinismus.
Date c. 1881-82
