Very good article. It explains nicely what's really going on and the fallacy of science-deniers waving Haeckel around.

Thanks for the response. The Wiki gives what I had originally thought. The theory was developed in the 1860's, has been discarded, but still gets brought out, probably because people read it in a book, put it in a new book, etc. Although I'm a creationist, I don't see the discrediting of this hurting evolutionary theory in the least. Nothing of what I understand about evolution demands this process during the pre-birth phase.
