"Last Words on Evolution: A Popular Retrospect and Summary" by Ernst Haeckel is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the evolution debate, summarizing Haeckel's own evolutionary conclusions that he has advocated for over forty years. It details the clash between scientific facts supporting evolution and religious creationist beliefs, emphasizing the importance of understanding evolutionary theory in light of recent scientific advancements. The opening of the book sets the context for Haeckel's lectures delivered towards the end of his life, highlighting the controversy surrounding evolution and its implications on religion and philosophy. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding his own stance on Darwinism and the press coverage that mischaracterized his views. Haeckel lays the groundwork for his exploration into evolutionary science, showcasing the historical struggle between monistic understandings of biology and religious dogmas. He aims to clarify the facts supporting evolution while addressing the compelling arguments against the Church's creationist beliefs, firmly advocating for scientific inquiry and understanding in the realm of human origins.
