L’île : un cadre propice au choc culturel
From late 1866 to early 1867, young Swiss zoologist Hermann Fol, who later became one of Switzerland’s most eminent embryologists, spent three months in Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. He was accompanying Ernst Haeckel, one of his lecturers from the University of Jena (Germany) and leading support...

| description | From late 1866 to early 1867, young Swiss zoologist Hermann Fol, who later became one of Switzerland’s most eminent embryologists, spent three months in Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. He was accompanying Ernst Haeckel, one of his lecturers from the University of Jena (Germany) and leading supporter in continental Europe of the recently emerged Darwinism. In the context of the scientific interest that the natural, untouched condition of the Atlantic islands aroused among scientists, we examine the clash of cultures between the "naïve" and "slow" islanders and those at the forefront of European science at the time. The study is completed by a biographical outline of Fol and the results of his research in the island, which led to his doctoral thesis on the anatomy and development of the ctenophore and consolidated his entry into descriptive embryology of invertebrates. |
