As a very modern response, you may want to include the "Darwin Fish" and
some of its variations.   The Anthropology Club at the University of Indiana
Northern Campus, for example, sells a bumper stick with the Fish that says
"If they outlaw teaching evolution, only outlaws will evolve".

have

was
>not by any means the first reaction to Darwin's theory by any means.  I
have

>recordings and sheet music), theatre and film (ie. Inherit the Wind),
>political cartoons (emanating from the Scopes Trial) and sculpture.

>I am looking to document and locate other "popular culture" items that

>works of art with evident interpretations of "evolution"?

>Please email me off-list for additional details or to provide possible
