Greetings everyone! Here is the last of the original artwork I've commissioned, like the rest from Celina M Castaneda of CMC Fine Art & Illustration. It’s a yet another amazing depiction, this time of American paleontologist, snail biologist, and historian of science Stephen Jay Gould.

From the game: "An evolutionary biologist, paleontologist, snail geneticist, historian of science, and professor of zoology at Harvard University. Her argued that in history as in evolution there is no inherent progress, and that humanity is not inevitably marching toward anything better than what it had before. Most people disagree with Gould, while doing their very best to prove him right."

Gould represents the view that history has no direction or pattern. 

From the game: "There is no pattern to history. Periods of accomplishment are followed by periods of decay. 'Progress' is mostly a myth; there is nothing inevitable about it. The simple passage of time improves nothing. Does your room become clean because you patiently stare at it?"
