Chimera
IMAGINABLE MONSTERS ............................................................. 'In 'Origin of Species' Darwin demonstrated that natural selection provided the mechanism needed for evolution and that enough time had passed for natural selection to have worked. This text, along with Darwin's 'The Descent of Man,' placed human beings firmly in the animal kingdom for the first time and permanently altered our vision of ourselves.'

About
"it had the fore part of a lion, the tail of a dragon, and its third head, the middle one, was rough which it belched fire. And it devastated the country and harried the cattle; for it was a single creature with the power of three beasts. It is said, too, that this Chimera was bred by Amisodarus, as Homer also affirms, and that it was begotten by Typhon on Echidna, as Hesiod relates".
