                 Haeckels drawings can be seen on
                 the right. Below is a detail from
                 these drawings: A false illustration
                 designed to prove that there were
                 similarities between human and fish
                 embryos. Compared to a real human
                 embryo, it can be seen that a large
                 number of the organs have been de-
                 liberately removed.
