Haeckel touch
Dear Jack,
Unfortunately, Haeckel is currently best known from second hands overstated opignions. This is a shame because replaced in context he was a genius. This is unquestionable.

Re: Haeckel touch
If the Haeckel GUT was "genius" then there can be NO opposition to my own use of cell death notions in biology. I however do not agree that I am either crazy or g. Life is full of warts and I have many of them.

Dear Crash,
I think that 'Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny' is simply wrong. I don't think there is even a case to be made for a 'weak' interpretation that doesn't require completely redefining the word 'recapitulate'.
It is certainly both useful and valid to study the ways in which ontogeny reflects phylogeny, which is what evo-devo tries to do.
TTFN,
WK

Re: Haeckel touch
Dear Brad,
I can't discard the whole life-work of E. Haeckel because of one thing is wrong. Get back to the dogmatic Xtian context!
His birthday was the same year of the last inquisition burning in Spain.

Re: Haeckel touch
I had seen Holmes' discussing this a way back but honestly I have never been able to preicate that part of his/her discussion. Is there some reason to relate it to Haeckel? I have nothing against German Science in and of itself.
