"The History of Creation, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Ernst Haeckel is a scientific work that explains evolution and shows how the Earth and its living things grew through natural events; expands upon the ideas of Darwin, Goethe, and Lamarck; and tries to make evolution easy to grasp for everyone. It begins by exploring how Darwin's ideas about descent change how we see biology, suggesting all life comes from shared ancestors and evolves slowly, not by miracles. The writer wants to clear up misunderstandings about Darwinism and highlights that living things are shaped by mechanical events and nature, not divine planning, which leads to a full look at evolutionary biology.

Summary
About the AuthorErnst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms and coined many terms in biology, including ecology, phylum, phylogeny, and Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny.
