Anyone who doubts Darwin’s theories, or that apes and humans have the same ancestors, should take a look at this baby orangutan. Doesn’t it look like a little boy, naked on his changing table? The resemblance is striking. And once again: a confident stroke of charcoal and a little watercolor in the right places result in this magnificent depiction of a small great ape.
