‘Haeckel claimed that l clss="ppl">Darwinl>'s ideas inlss="trms"nttrm="cluster,club">cluded the progressive development of lss="trms">species. “Development and progress” was what characterized evolution. The explicit aslss="trms">sociation of evolution with particular political, lss="trms">religious, and racial views became the hallmark of Haeckel's career. Haeckel proposed a lss="trms">causal parallelism between the embryological development and phylogeny. His “Biogenetic lss='trgt hghlght 1'href='?q=L'>Law” that “lss="trms">Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny” was based on lss='thdf'>the idea that the successive (and to him, progressive) olss="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin of new lss="trms">species was based on the same laws as the successive and progressive olss="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin of new embryonic structures. Just as the earlier lss="trms">stages of human development developed into the later lss="trms">stages, so earlier lss="trms">species evolved into the later ones. lss="trms">Natural selection would eventually get rid of the earlier lss="trms">species. (In the Welträtsel, Haeckel <lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>1899<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc> would also proclaim that the more evolved humans <lgc clss='lgc'>[lgc>i.e., the Aryans<lgc clss='lgc'>]lgc> would out-compete and eliminate the more primitive races.) To Haeckel, the evolution of the lss="trms">animal kingdom was the same as individual development not only because the laws behind each were the same but also because the entire lss="trms">animal kingdom was an individual. Here, he was harking back to the views of the lss="trms">Naturphilosophen of the previous century. In other words, the development of advanced lss="trms">species was seen to pass through lss="trms">stages relss="trms">presented by adult organisms of more primitive lss="trms">species.’ (The lss="trms">morphogenesis of evolutionary developmental biology)
