Detail from a large wall painting (fresco around 1887) in the Natural History Museum in Vienna, shown in the excellent illustrated book (399 pages) for the exhibition "Darwin's Evolution" (2009). In 1831, Charles Darwin set out on a five-year trip around the world, which took him to the Galapagos Islands, where he made his most interesting observations. He processed the material he collected over many years and published it in 1859 in the book "On the Origin of Species", which made him famous. He is now a legend.

The pattern of a turtle resembles a mathematical Voronoi diagram. We use a Voronoi diagram here, which displays exhibits on a surface partitioned according to the similarity of the pieces. The similarities of the pieces are calculated by an artificial intelligence algorithm.
