Original artwork description:

A close up, partial, off-canvas composition of a chimpanzee with a ten pound note attached. Take note that it is the Charles Darwin side that is showing. This painting makes reference to how the human psyche has evolved. Human's along with other mammals nurture their young, love and compassion are thus evolutionary strategies. When reptiles and insects reproduce, their young become totally independent from birth. The human psyche has an attachment to the offspring as babies need nurturing; love compassion and empathy are therefore necessary traits for survival.
