Haeckel’s Radiolarians

Haeckel unfortunately in the absence knowledge which we now have from the human genome project came to conclusions that what we now consider as 'the human race' constituted in fact several distinct races stemming from various originally speechless ape-men each now having its own distinct language. Those with the most highly developed language were considered superior. There is no doubt that Haeckel considered the semitic races to be the most superior and thus the most highly developed. This had tragic consequences in the following 70 or so years in Europe particularly in Germany where this theory was misused to support racially based genocide on a massive scale..... but looking at this tree from Australia maybe inverts the perspective.

Otro lamentable caso de sociobiología... tratando de justificar ideologías con temas que en la naturaleza no son como las vieron.

Haeckel was anticipated at least 35 years earlier by the French naturalist/explorer
Alcide d'Orbigny who not only sketched the radiolarian organisms he discovered in the seawater of his native La Rochelle, but he also created macro-scale models of many of them.  These models are still preserved in Paris at the Jardin des Plantes.

He doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, I bet he prefers Dos Equis :)
