Originally published in 1899, The History of Creation was the first
book of its kind to apply a doctrine to the whole range of organic
morphology and make use of the effect Darwin had on biological
sciences during the 19th century. Haeckel looks at Darwin's reform
of Descent Theory and its establishment through the doctrine of
selection. He introduces Descent Theory into the systematic
classification of animals and plants and finds a "natural system"
on the basis of genealogy - that is, to construct hypothetical
pedigrees for the various species of organisms. The book will be of
interest to those studying natural history and the origins of
modern scientific thought, it will appeal to researchers both in
the natural sciences and in history.
