Good point.
Charles Darwin’s grandfather Erasmus had most of it. He composed a family motto: ‘E conchia omnia.’
‘Everything from shells.’ Meaning there’s a common ancestor to all organic life.
Erasmus had his motto engraved not only, quite correctly, on his stationery; but also on his carriage doors. The latter rather strident approach remained until it upset his local curate.
Nothing, as they say, is new.
