Explanation

Karl Ernst von Baer (1792-1876) established the foundational principles of modern embryology, including von Baer's laws which state that embryos of different species resemble each other more in early stages than in later stages. Darwin worked on evolution, Weismann on germ-plasm theory, and 'Hackles' is likely a typo for Haeckel (who was a recapitulation theorist, not embryology founder).
