My Textbook
My experience is that nearly all textbooks exhibited these fraudulent drawings, and personally, I would not consider any of Haeckel's drawings accurate.
My Textbook: Freeman and Herron, 2001: "Evolutionary Analysis, 2nd Ed."
has none of Haeckel's drawings, no images of peppered moths either. It does have pictures of turtle, chicken, and human embryos in a brief section about relatedness of species.
Luckily I was not duped by those unscrupulous science textbook publishers.
