The evolution of PUR

Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans. At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published, including several organism collections and the Art Forms in Nature. Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision as for its understanding of organic evolution. From jellyfish, lizards, spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the symmetries and order of nature, and found beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures.

I bought the book The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel by TASCHEN last year because of all the interesting shapes and visuals. When I scroll through the book I see the organisms become alive and work together.
