- Quotes
Thomas Huxley: Mr Darwin, sir? Either you are being disingenuous or you do not fully understand your own theory. Evidently, what is true of the barnacle is true of all creatures, even humans. The Almighty can no longer claim to have authored every species in under a week. You've killed God, sir! You've killed God!
- Crazy creditsThe title appears against a background imitative of Michaelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" from the Sistine Chapel, with Adam replaced by the title. This is also simulated in the cover art, with Adam replaced by a chimpanzee.
