Synopsis
Excerpt from Haeckel's Genesis of Man, or History of the Development of the Human Race: Being a Review of His "Anthropogenie," and Embracing a Summary Exposition of His Views and of Those of the Advanced German School of Science
HE three papers constituting this little 570671217? Were originally contributed to the penn monthly, and appeared in the April, May, and July numbers of that magazine for 1877.
As the work which it was their more especial object to review has not yet been placed before the non-german reading public, no apology is offered for their reproduction in separate form.
In view, however, of the popular interest which the views of Prof. Haeckel have since called forth, and which seems to be still increasing, it was thought an opportune moment for laying before the general public this condensed exposition of the thought and labors of the great naturalist and philosopher.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history and scientific underpinnings of the theory of evolution, tracing its roots back to the pioneering ideas of Erasmus Darwin, Goethe, and Lamarck in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The author meticulously examines the contributions of these early thinkers, highlighting their profound insights into the interconnectedness of life and the gradual transformation of species over time. A central focus of this book is the exploration of the intricate relationship between individual development (ontogeny) and the evolutionary history of species (phylogeny). The author delves into the groundbreaking work of Karl Ernst von Baer, who observed the striking similarities between embryonic stages of different animals, and Ernst Haeckel, who recognized the profound implications of these observations for understanding the ancestral relationships among species. Through clear explanations and compelling examples, the book illuminates the fundamental principles of heredity and adaptation, demonstrating how these forces have shaped the diversity of life on Earth. The intricate dance between the conservative force of inheritance and the dynamic influence of environmental pressures is revealed as the driving mechanism behind the evolution of all living organisms, including humans. This book offers a captivating journey through the history of evolutionary thought, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of life and the profound implications of the theory of evolution for our place in the natural world.
