Yeah that’s how they immediately struck me.
I have mixed feelings about Haeckel. He was definitely a eugenicist and his ideas may have had some influence on the birth of Nazism. So as much as I’m entranced by his very beautiful renderings of life, I’d feel a bit weird hanging a print on my wall.
- raffraffraff 3y agoApparently Darwinism was also a huge influence on Nazism. Sometimes people get the wrong end of the stick and won't let go.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoyeah I have haeckel prints on my walls... I had no idea. But then again this makes sense because Nazism was influenced by a wide range of ideas, because it took cues directly from theosophy.
