Why are Haeckel's drawings being taught in school?

So why are they still being taught almost 130 years after they have been proven false?

You have examples of current textbooks teaching this as good modern science, rather than-- perhaps-- as history?------------------

That is, did they simply "tie down" the moths....

Hey... you try getting a bug to sit still for a picture. Seriously, Kettlewell did perch ( dead, I believe ) moths on tree trunks to photograph them. And the moths don't spend a whole lot of time on those tree trunks. It is a valid criticism. There are numbers of problems with the early studies, actually. Still, the basics turned out to be correct. No webpage found at provided URL: http://biocrs.biomed.brown.edu/Elephant%20stuff/Chapters/Ch%2014/Moths/Moth-Update.html------------------
