Arch...Michael,<br /><br />Sorry. I misread late last night.<br /><br />Archaeoraptor was recognized as a fraud by scientists. We have real fossils demonstrating the transition between theropod dinosaurs and avian dinosaurs. Archaeoraptor was published first in a non peer reviewed magazine, the National Geographic..<br /><br />Haeckel's embryos weren't transparent frauds. They were drawings of what he thought he saw. He had a theory that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny so he saw more similarities between embryos of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals than exist, although they are very similar.<br /><br />It's an illustration of the fact that humans can see something and misinterpret it, similar to the way I misread someone using a name similar to yours. Another example would be Galileo when he observed the Rings of Saturn. He observed them for a long time and eventually decided that Saturn wasn't round but had two 'ears'. It was only in the following century that the nature of Saturn's rings were explained and the reason for their changing shape determined.bachfiendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14752055891882312204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-19566714422491748032011-11-14T14:32:22.583-05:002011-11-14T14:32:22.583-05:00@James:
