Ernst Haeckel's Evolution of Man, 1874
Ernst Haeckel's Evolution of Man, 1874. "This plate shows the embryos of four mammals in the three corresponding stages: of a Hog (H), Calf (C), Rabbit (R), and a Man (M). The conditions of the three different stages of development, which the three crossroads (I, II, III) represent, are selected to correspond as exactly as possible." Haeckel (1834-1919) was a German biologist, naturalist, 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 anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and Protista.
