CONTENTS The Controversy about Creation The Struggle over Our Genealogical Tree The Controversy over the Soul Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) received a thorough university education, and in 1862 became Professor of Zoology at Jena. He was the first outspoken Darwinian in Germany. He developed especially the theory that the history of the embryo follows the history of the race to which it belongs. Von Baer had made the first step in the theory, but Haeckel extended it and did much to prove its general truth. His investigations on the lower classes of marine organisms are classical. | The Dagger of Darkness by Ernst Haeckel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
