Complete joke and a sly racist shot by the artist.

Totally delusional.
No one "came from" monkeys and Francis Galton was a disgrace. We're all humans, not animals.
Just had a glance at Galton's Wikipedia page, and you wouldn't think he did anything wrong if that's all you read. Careful what you read. Here's some context for those who don't know:

Sky reported that the artist only paints Monkeys....
Serie A, Italy's top football division, commissioned Simone Fugazzotto, who is known for painting monkeys, to create artworks to tackle prejudice in the game.

"Ignorance"?
Call it that if you like.
It's more likely "idiocy", "Illiteracy", and many other things combined, probably among the younger generation of footfall goers.
How they even have the money to pay for a ticket at today's prices is amazing.
And the clubs let them in!!
Says a lot about the clubs, doesn't it?
He could have just used Gareth Bale.
Balism at its worst right there.

We're also all animals though...
In essence there's nothing wrong with using a monkey as an image to represent our common ancestry.
Problem is, only a complete idiot would not understand the racist connotations of reference a monkey in this sort of 'conversation'. So it's either insanely misjudged or intentionally offensive. I'm unsure which.

If, as someone above said, he only paints or specialises in painting monkeys, then its not a racist shot by the artist but those who commissioned him, knowing full well that it they would get a monkey painting for their campaign.
It is entirely wrong at every level. If an ad needs endless explanation, it has obviously failed. The eye colour completely lost on most people.
The sad part is neither the artist or those that commissioned this can see why.
Phil - I believe humans are distinct from animals, aside from whatever biological or scientific definitions we currently have. I don't believe we are animals - in the same way that you could describe people as "behaving like animals" to mean they're not behaving like people should.
