An interesting Clubhouse discussion, at 2:00am here in Europe.
After three and a half years at the Max Planck, I decided to decorate my office - in honor of Jena, Germany’s deep legacy of Darwinian Evolutionary Theory, three of Ernst Haeckel’s prints from Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature) published in sets from 1899 to 1904. Haeckel was a strong Darwinian, pushing evolutionary ideas among the Prussia intellects, and spending most of his career here in Jena. #haeckel #ernsthaeckel #jena #jenagermany #phylogeny #history #darwinian #evolutionarytheory #artprints #scienceprints #robertspengler #taxonomy #treeoflife #maxplanckinstitute #maxplanckinstituteforthescienceofhumanhistoy

An assemblage of some castles around Jena, Germany. These beautiful ruins and restored structures are scattered around the hills and on top of the glacial-cut valleys. Most of them are still accompanied by their small towns. #germany #castle #jenagermany #archaeological #archaeology #robertspengler
