## Answer

How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers and Other Woodcuts by Robert Williams Wood develops Evolution and Connection across the chapters the companion marks for this theme.

References to Darwin and 'missing links' (e.g., Bee, Beet, Beetle) subtly engage with evolutionary theory, suggesting playful connections between disparate life forms.

References Darwin's theory of descent, playfully proposing a lineage from bees to beetles via the beet.
