This week's prompt: where we come from
The National Portrait Gallery’s photograph of the month shows Professor Stephen Jones by Tom Pope. One of the leading experts in evolution, Professor Jones is pictured with a skeleton from UCL’s Grant Museum of Zoology.
This week’s prompt is simple: write about where we come from - it might be in an evolutionary sense, or something specific to your own roots and origins: your family, friends or hometown.
If you want to add a surreal twist, you might imagine what we would be like if instead of evolving from primates, we evolved from insects or plants, or birds, or if you had a different family or came from a different part of the world.
What impact does where we come from have on who we are and where we are now?
