Icons of Evolution
n“The iconography of persuasion strikes even closer than words to the core of our being.  Every demagogue, every humorist, every advertising executive, has known and exploited the evocative power of a well-chosen picture …  But many of our pictures are incarnations of concepts masquerading as neutral descriptions of nature.  These are the most potent sources of conformity, since ideas passing as descriptions lead us to equate the tentative with the unambiguously factual.” nStephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life (New York: W. W. Norton, 1989, p. 28)
