    Chapter 1 History Systematics has its origins in two threads of biological science: classification and evolution. The organization of natural variation into sets, groups, and hierarchies traces its roots to Aristotle and evolution to Darwin. Put simply, systematization of nature can and has progressed in absence of causative theories relying on ideas of “plan of nature,” divine or otherwise. Evolutionists (Darwin, Wallace, and others) proposed a rationale for these patterns. This mixture is the foundation of modern systematics. Originally, systematics was natural history. Today we think of systematics as being a more inclusive term, encompassing field collection, empirical compar- ative biology, and theory. To begin with, however, taxonomy, now known as the process of naming species and higher taxa in a coherent, hypothesis-based, and regular way, and systematics were equivalent. Roman bust of Aristotle (384–322 BCE) 1.1 Aristotle Systematics as classification (or taxonomy) draws its Western origins from Aris- totle1. A student of Plato at the Academy and reputed teacher of Alexander the Great, Aristotle founded the Lyceum in Athens, writing on a broad variety of topics including what we now call biology. To Aristotle, living things (species) came from nature as did other physical classes (e.g. gold or lead). Today, we refer to his classification of living things (Aristotle, 350 BCE) that show simi- larities with the sorts of classifications we create now. In short, there are three featuresCOPYRIGHTED of his methodology that weMATERIAL recognize immediately: it was functional, binary, and empirical. Aristotle’s classification divided animals (his work on plants is lost) using Ibn Rushd (Averroes) functional features as opposed to those of habitat or anatomical differences: “Of (1126–1198) land animals some are furnished with wings, such as birds and bees.” Although he recognized these features as different in aspect, they are identical in use.

  • Ernst Haeckel's Embryological Illustrations
    Pictures of Evolution and Charges of Fraud Ernst Haeckel’s Embryological Illustrations By Nick Hopwood* ABSTRACT Comparative illustrations of vertebrate embryos by the leading nineteenth-century Dar- winist Ernst Haeckel have been both highly contested and canonical. Though the target of repeated fraud charges since 1868, the pictures were widely reproduced in textbooks through the twentieth century. Concentrating on their first ten years, this essay uses the accusations to shed light on the novelty of Haeckel’s visual argumentation and to explore how images come to count as proper representations or illegitimate schematics as they cross between the esoteric and exoteric circles of science. It exploits previously unused manuscripts to reconstruct the drawing, printing, and publishing of the illustrations that attracted the first and most influential attack, compares these procedures to standard prac- tice, and highlights their originality. It then explains why, though Haeckel was soon ac- cused, controversy ignited only seven years later, after he aligned a disciplinary struggle over embryology with a major confrontation between liberal nationalism and Catholicism—and why the contested pictures nevertheless survived. INETEENTH-CENTURY IMAGES OF EVOLUTION powerfully and controversially N shape our view of the world. In 1997 a British developmental biologist accused the * Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, Free School Lane, Cambridge CB2 3RH, United Kingdom. Research for this essay was supported by the Wellcome Trust and partly carried out in the departments of Lorraine Daston and Hans-Jo¨rg Rheinberger at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science. My greatest debt is to the archivists of the Ernst-Haeckel-Haus, Jena: the late Erika Krauße gave generous help and invaluable advice over many years, and Thomas Bach, her successor as Kustos, provided much assistance with this project.

  • Ernst Haeckel's Monistic Religon
    ERNST HAECKEL'S MONISTIC RELIGION BY NILESR. HOLT For some of his contemporaries, the German zoologist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was the "nihilistic yet superstitious prophet of a new religion."' Others saw him as a vindicator who would confirm the triumph of science in its nineteenth-century warfare with religion. For still others, he was the "apostle of Darwinism," the major crusader on the European continent for the acceptance of Darwinism. Charles Darwin wrote that if one of Haeckel's works had appeared before his own The Descent of Man (1871), "I should probably never have com- pleted it. Almost all of the conclusions at which I have arrived I find confirmed by ... this naturalist, whose knowledge on many points is fuller than mine."2 Unlike some exponents of Darwinism, Haeckel's own consequential achievements in morphology and embryology pre- vented him from being dismissed as merely another of "Darwin's bull- dogs." From a position of scientific eminence, as professor of zoology at the University of Jena, Haeckel combined his activities to promote Darwinism with popularizations of his own "Monism." He presented Monism as a scientific movement which was based on Darwinism and 'This particular description is from "Popular Science in Germany," The Nation, DCXV (1879), 179-80. Haeckel's hopes to make of his Monism an international move- ment were heightened by interest in his Monistic system in the United States to the point that Paul Carus, editor of the Monist, attempted to distinguish between Haeckel's and that journal's "Monism." See the early correspondence between Carus and Haeckel, published as "Professor Haeckel's Monism and the Ideas of God and Im- mortality," Open Court, V (1891), 2957-58.

    Frontispiece. René Binet, Porte Monumentale for Exposition Universelle, Paris, 1900. Phototype, from Exposition Universelle, Paris 1900. Héliotypes de E. Le Deley (Paris, n.d.). (V&A Images, National Art Library, Victoria and Albert Museum). 224 A World of Things in Emergence and Growth: René Binet’s Porte Monumentale at the 1900 Paris Exposition robert proctor by 1898, René Binet had produced his final design for the Porte Monumentale of the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, a building which came to symbolise the Exposition in the media, in the profusion of ephemeral literature which surrounded it, and in the public consciousness [Frontispiece; Figure 1].1 The arch was meant to be ‘a type and epitome of the Exposition itself ’, as an American commentator put it.2 The Exposition aimed to celebrate the achievements of the nineteenth century and the arrival of a new age of peace in the twentieth, under the steerage of the Third Republic. The Porte Monumentale compressed this ideological scheme into a single complex and ambivalent object. The contemporary discourse on nature provided Binet with an expressive range of symbolic forms with which to articulate such political concerns. Re-reading the Porte Monumentale through such discourse, however, produces more contradictions than certainties. While one strand of scientific enquiry maintained a rational view of life, and consequently of human society, as internally structured and constantly evolving according to understandable principles, another related strand proposed a more mystical, romantic and pseudo-religious view of nature. In Binet’s architectural adoption of natural forms, each of these views seems to have a role.

  • The Art and Science of Nature in Nature Martin Kemp
    study centre mellon lectures 13 April 2004 6 Processes and Structures: The Art and Science of Nature in Nature Martin Kemp The invitation to deliver a public lecture at the Canadian Centre for Architecture gives me a welcome opportunity to look back again over the regular column -- generally consisting of six-hundred-word pieces, each with one illustration -- that I have been writing in the science magazine Nature. The first two years of essays (at that point I was writing on a weekly basis) were brought together in the book Visualizations. Since then, there have been three years of monthly essays. It is good to be able to reflect on the years of writing, and to share with you some thoughts as to whether they are anything more than a series of separate, discrete essays. Each obviously had to stand on its own. However, are there motifs and undercurrents that can be drawn out of the diverse topics, which span a wide range of sciences, technologies, and visual arts from the Renaissance to today? Nature, as we know, is a very distinguished periodical. Founded in 1869, it has undergone many reincarnations, signalled by the multiple redesigns of its cover -- a process that has occurred ever more frequently as design fashions and technologies have changed at an accelerating rate. As a visual historian, one of the questions I am interested in asking is why Nature looks like it does now, and how this look relates to its past appearances. I wrote an essay in Visualizations specifically on this topic. The question as to why human-made things look like they do is a fascinating and complex matter, extending beyond the field of the history of art or even of design.
