the moths of ernst haeckel
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel
February 16, 1834 – August 9, 1919
His name is also written von Haeckel, an eminent German
biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, and
artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new
species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and
coined many terms in biology, including phylum, phylogeny,
ecology and the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted and
popularized Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed
the controversial recapitulation theory, "ontogeny recapitulates
phylogeny", claiming that an individual organism's biological
development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species'
entire evolutionary development, or phylogeny.
The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed,
multi-colour illustrations of animals and sea creature.
