ERNST HAECKEL
Ernst was a prolific scientist.
He drew amazing pictures from his travels.
The diversity of the Canary Islands proves beautiful and amazing.
He seemed fixated on symmetry expecially radial symmetry.
He is also famous for his theory of recapitulation, where
ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
Or maybe it was the other way around, i think thats it though.
At the time there was a lot of ideas shooting around,
but in light of modern science it seems a little silly to me.
A miss of the target but genius anyway.
