The making of objects and images to help grasp the big questions is something that has defined human activity for tens of thousands of years. Great Progenitor is a response to evolutionary biology in the idiom of sacred iconography; it is not a true likeness of anything in existence but a symbolic reification. It is to religion what science fiction is to science.
