Ernst Haeckel 
The History of Creation (Vol.1&2) 
Complete Edition

The History of Creation is a book by German scientist Ernst Haeckel, which deals with issues of creation and evolution under influence of Charles Darwin. The book did a great deal to further explain ‘Darwinism’ and widens the theory to the world. Haeckel argued that human evolution consisted of precisely 22 phases, the 21st – the ‘missing link’ – being a halfway step between apes and humans. He even formally named this missing link Pithecanthropus alalus, translated as ‘ape man without speech’

Giới thiệu về tác giả

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was a German zoologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist, 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. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory claiming that an individual organism’s biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species’ evolutionary development, or phylogeny.
