The Last Link: Our Present Knowledge of the Descent of Man
1898
The Last Link: Our Present Knowledge of the Descent of Man, published in 1898 by Ernst Haeckel, is a significant work in evolutionary biology that explores human origins from primate ancestors. Haeckel discusses the principles of transformism, building on the foundations laid by Lamarck and Darwin, and emphasizes the importance of comparative anatomy and paleontological evidence in understanding human evolution. This publication is notable for its critical examination of the scientific knowledge of the time regarding the descent of man and its implications for zoology and biology.
