UPDATE

Another trip down Street View yielded the above. It appears that Holloway Cycles has moved about six doors down (in the direction of Highbury Corner).

Just visible above 'Holloway Cycles', Mankind ascending to 'Cyclist'.

Even though this book clearly states on the cover that it is a novel, 'The Bookshop' in Mold, North Wales, where I first saw this book some three or four years ago, had it shelved with the science books. In fact, I was there again today and it was still shelved with the science books after all this time and even though the science books were now located in a different part of the shop. Nobody seems to have noticed even during the move. Presumably it is the same book that hasn't been sold after all this time. If the copy I saw today was a replacement, surely somebody would have shelved it correctly at a fresh attempt.

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the back cover. Using a bit of clever duplication and re-sizing of the figures, they appear to start much further back in time with the march of evolutionary progress extending all the way around the book.

Seen sold on tee-shirts in Edinburgh - 'Evolution of a Scotsman'. ('Scotsman' is there but in a shade of blue that does not show up very well.)

I first I've seen that implies an evolution of the intellect.

Two different covers from Paul Strathern's Darwin and Evolution The Big Idea.

From the cover of The Philosophers' Magazine:

A spoof from phdcomics.com (Feb. 2009 - albeit a little belatedly for Darwin's 200th birthday) that made it into the 2010 calendar.

In this book cover, from Christopher Lloyd's 'What on Earth Evolved', there is more than a hint of the Ascent of Man image albeit made into a ring containing species sharing no direct lineage with humankind.
