The joke plays on the absurd idea that scientific theories "create" natural phenomena rather than describe them. Darwin didn't "invent" evolution any more than Newton "invented" gravity—they just explained processes that were already happening! The meme shows a chimp in formal Victorian attire, suggesting that before Darwin's 1858 publication, primates were just sophisticated gentlemen attending galas and discussing philosophy over brandy. Next they'll tell us Einstein invented relativity and before that everyone's cousins aged at exactly the same rate regardless of their vacation plans.
