"A Venerable Orang-Outang: A Contribution to Unnatural History" (1871) is the title of a caricature of Charles Darwin as an ape published in English satirical magazine The Hornet, one month after The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex was published.

White bearded head of Darwin with the body of a crouching ape.

A caricature in The Hornet satirical magazine dated 22 March 1871 was typical of many portraying Darwin with an ape body, identifying him in popular culture as the leading author of evolutionary theory and helping to identify all forms of evolutionism with Darwinism.
