The third eye doesn...Thanks for the tip, Jason!<br /><br />The third eye doesn't totally fit with the rest of the ones in the series - each one is supposed to have a lightsource near their heads and some double helixes in the image. (Jerry Coyne has a firefly, but I'm happier with how the firefly turned out than Coyne.)<br /><br />I have been in love with Symbolist art since I was a teen, and the eyes rolling up into the head was a motif seen a lot in the 1890's. It is kind of macabre, but shows the person gazing inward...Goodall studies chimps, but some of her most fascinating (and most written about) insights are about what chimps show us about ourselves. <br /><br />You also touch on something I have started writing a blog post about: co-opting religious imagery for the sake of science. <br /><br />I think it can and should be done in scientific and atheist art - and I'll wait and say more later. :-)Glendon Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582347493421110738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978531190643365040.post-31014673007873844532009-10-28T18:58:22.958-04:002009-10-28T18:58:22.958-04:00Fantastic!!
