"Dang, he's maybe worse than Haeckel."
Haekel, with his claim of an "identical" stage that all vertebrate classes must pass through, was incorrect and he did over simplify his drawings to "prove" his claim. However, developmental biologists agree that many aspects of vertebrate development are highly conserved among the various classes. To compare the late 19th century claims (at worst - exaggerations) of Haeckel with the outright fraud (in his "research" and his academic "credentials") of Carl Baugh is not fair, imo. Besides, Haeckel submitted his claims to scientific scrutiny - and he was corrected by scientists. In which scientific journal did Baugh publish his research?
