The zoologist Ernst Haeckel from Jena, Germany, is one of the most important but controversial scientists of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. As an enthusiastic follower of Darwin, he worked on the continuation and popularisation of evolutionary theory and thus became a symbolic figure in the world-view battles of the time. The second volume of this historico-critical edition, planned in a total of 25 volumes, documents the second half of Haeckel's period of study until his doctorate in Berlin with the family correspondence from August 1854 to March 1857 and the first major journeys to Heligoland (1854), the Alps (1855) and Nice (1856). During this time, his unloved study of medicine under the influence of Johannes Müller, Albert von Kölliker and Rudolf Virchow turned into great devotion to the scientific knowledge of organic life. On Heligoland he finally decided on zoologist as a profession. He dedicated his dissertation, which was developed by Virchow following the Würzburg assistantship, to microscopic anatomy, inspired by Kölliker.
