Ernst Haeckel

Ernst Haeckel was an influential German naturalist and philosopher whose extensive work in biology shaped our understanding of life. He mapped the connections between all life forms through a genealogical tree and introduced key terms still used in biology today. His artistic creations, particularly detailed illustrations of animals and sea creatures, continue to captivate with their beauty and precision. Haeckel's philosophy and advocacy for Darwin's ideas left an indelible mark on both the field of biology and broader intellectual discourse.
