Man-Made: The Evolutionary Influence of Humans Book Cover Illustration

Digital Media | 2023

A book cover illustrated for Lynn Anderson-Carpenter’s Man-Made: The Evolutionary Influence of Humans. This book discusses the ways humankind has manipulated evolution of the natural world to suit their needs - for better or for worse. The front illustration features a face off between a modern dairy cow and it’s ancestor, the extinct Auroch. The back cover features a watermelon next to it’s wild counterpart, and the binding features a pair of rats: one bred by humans and one wild. Weaving through the background to tie these elements together are a combination of wild and genetically modified roses.
