The Tree of Life Evolves
In honor of Darwin Day (Charles would have been 204 years old today, if he were immortal or something), here’s a few of my favorite trees of life from through the ages. Some were designed as scientific references, and some as purely creative tributes, but all are works of art.
From Top:
- Darwin’s original sketch from On the Origin of Species (1859)
- Ernst Haeckel’s Generelle Morphologie der Organismen (1866)
- The famous Hillis Plot drawn on a felled tree
- An imaginative take on the tree of life by Rosalyn Schanzer
- Richard Amm’s tribute to the “grandeur in this view of life”, with biology’s increasing complexity growing from the center of a shell
As Darwin was inspired by the beauty of nature’s forms to discover how all of Earth’s species are connected, may we be inspired to discover the beauty in science for ourselves.
Happy Darwin Day!

From So Simple a Beginning…
Artist Pery Burge created this ink-in-water sequence after being inspired by Charles Darwin’s famous conclusion to On the Origin of Species.:
“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
From such a simple beginning, a drop of color upon the surface of liquid, such complex and beautiful designs develop. A simply gorgeous tribute to the beauty of evolution.
Happy Darwin Day!

WAIT TODAY IS DARWIN DAY?? AAAAAAAAAHHH Seriously this is amazing! I’m always surprised when I realize that other people aren’t completely obsessed with the concept of evolution.
