چکیده
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel was a prominent comparative anatomist and active lecturer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is most well known for his descriptions of phylogenetic trees, studies of radiolarians, and illustrations of vertebrate embryos to support his biogenetic law [4] and Darwin?s work with evolution [5]. Haeckel aggressively argued that the development of an embryo repeats or recapitulates the progressive stages of lower life forms and that by studying embryonic development one could thus study the evolutionary history of life on earth.

techniques. Instead he emphasizes theoretical aspects of diverse views of the cell, and provides an exposition of the views of major contributors to the debate on structural units following Dutrochet. There are accounts of the ideas of Raspail, Muller, Schwann, Remak, and Kolliker as well as Virchow. Duchesneau traces a shift from an anti-vitalistic programme to Muller's emphasis on the living ...
متن کاملCharles Darwin's Reception in Germany and What Followed
In Germany, Charles Darwin’s thinking was accepted very quickly after the publication of On the Origin of Species in November, 1859. This was due, in no small measure, to the fact that a translation by the noted German paleontologist Heinrich Georg Bronn appeared in April, 1860, only months after the original publication [1]. Bronn’s own research led him to several insights that paralleled thos...
