Archetypical Origin of the Species picture
What is the archetype of the Origin of the Species or Ascent of Man picture, such as the one parodied above in the Mutts comic strip, or in the opening of the Dilbert animated cartoon, and so many other places, the one that shows either the fish and some early reptile crawling up the shore from the primordial swamp and various more "advanced" animals, or the one that shows an ape and a caveman and a moden man? One source hints it was a Victorian theme.
