Ernst Haeckel was a versatile German scientist who made significant contributions to zoology, natural history, and evolutionary biology. He discovered and named many new species, developed key biological theories, and helped introduce Charles Darwin’s ideas to Germany. Haeckel’s artistic work, especially his illustrations of animals and sea life, had a major impact on the Art Nouveau movement. In addition to his scientific pursuits, he explored philosophical questions about the universe and advocated for freedom in science and education. However, Haeckel’s support of scientific racism and Social Darwinism has stirred controversy.
