What reading level is Haeckel, His Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But when Oken came with the idea of natural evolution, he at once took this series as the outline of a genealogical tree. The mammals descended from the birds ; the fishes from the insects ; and so on. If that were really the case, the highest animals would be expected to reproduce all the animal and plant stages in the course of their embryonic development, on the lines of the theory. The human being would have to be, successively, not only a lizard and a fish, but even a bird, a beetle, a cra...b, and so on. This was by no means borne out by the facts, and so the theory seemed to be discredited.
Now let us glance at Haeckel's genealogical tables. "We find eight of them, artistically drawn, at the end of the second volume. The "genea- logical tree" is given in the form of a branching tree, or as a huge forest-like growth of stems some of which only meet in the ultimate roots. There is no trace in Haeckel's designs- of the sort of Eifiel-Tower arrangement that the Linnean system involved.
