Work in progress, why not? I guess all of these are demos—this one only more so because it’s a demo of an idea, just a verse and chorus.
“
Ernst Haeckel is often portrayed as having perverted Darwinian theory and beguiled several generations with his polemical efforts at popularizing the Englishman’s ideas. Sander Gliboff aggressively corrects this distorted image of Haeckel’s accomplishments and resets them within a biology that shed its fustian transcendentalism for more stylish modern dress. He thereby dexterously measures Haeckel up to Darwin’s own standards, despite the assumptions of miscreant historians to the contrary. In his renovative account of H. G. Bronn, Darwin’s translator, and his vigorous defense of Haeckel, Gliboff flashes his vorpal blade at scholars of stature and of craft, charging his book with the excitement of competitive history.
