Who came from whom? Adapted after an original sculpted by Hugo Rheinhold and first publicly exhibited in 1893 at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, this sculpture both amuses and intrigues. As the chimpanzee contemplates a human skull, he rests on a pile of books--one of which is by Darwin, the scientist whose theory about evolution is legendary. The sculpture has been mistakenly named Darwin's Mistake through the years. According to a historian, there is no evidence that the sculptor was "overly critical of Darwin". This statue of the Philosophizing Monkey is made from designer resin, color details, 8"H x 5"W x 4"D.
