The present study describes the conceptual framework of Adolf Naef's idealistic morphology as presented at the onset of the 20 th century. According to Naef, Haeckel's and Gegenbaur's approaches towards a phylogenetic biology were insufficient. He made it clear that Haeckel's ideas were based on typological morphology. Thus, Haeckel's views on comparative biology pointed back to pre-Darwinian concepts. Naef's consequence was not to work out his own evolutionary morphology but to systematize the earlier typological concept. Consequently, he separated comparative morphology from phylogenetic studies. This idea was adopted by Hennig and was even imported into modern cladism. |
