Résumé

Cover illustration: 'Man is but a Worm': cartoon depicting the progressive transformation from worm to man (Charles Darwin) as drawn by Linley Sambourne and published in Punch magazine (1881). The erroneous intermediate steps depict the lack of understanding of evolutionary processes so often prevalent, even today. Evolution suggests neither a preferred direction nor a progressive process leading to more sophisticated forms. Phylogenies, as depicted by the tree, are excellent arbiters of evolutionary change through rime. Reproduced with the permission of Punch Ltd.
