Ernst Haeckle



Ernst Haeckel, a contemporary of Darwin, a researcher of evolutionary theory and an illustrator whose talent has been far too obscure created this image. He named thousands of species and rendered them with this level of detail. And I just learned that he has a mountain named after him overlooking Evolution Basin in the Sierra Nevada range. This image is from www.bytsizebio.net We are completely obsessed with his work.
