uwmspeccoll:Science Saturday: Evolution ManuscriptThis week we revisit the massive, 11-pound, 650-page,loose-leaf-bound manuscript titled Evolutionthat was completely handwritten by Hans Q. Ewald starting in 1936.It includes numerous original drawings by his wife Helen Ewald. It is abit of mystery as to who the Ewalds were, we know so very little about them. UWMSpecial Collections came into possession of this manuscript in 1985 after itwas sent from a donor in Portugal. The donor letter indicates that Hans Q.Ewald may have been a professor in Milwaukee. If anyone has any other information,please let us know!We have previously highlighted various birds from thismanuscript, but for this Science Saturday I thought I would show a sampling ofother life forms such as dinosaurs, jellyfish, a locust (with a horse-likehead), parasites, a pangolin, and a lion! The diversity of life on Earth istruly astounding. View more posts from the EwaldMaunscript. View more ScienceSaturday posts.–Sarah, Special Collections Graduate Intern -- source link
