Although they argued about methodology, and also had serious differences with respect to philosophical issues, their different personal agendas with respect to research and institution-building may have been equally significant.
In this paper we analyze Carl Gegenbaur's conception of the relationship between embryology (“Ontogenie”) and comparative anatomy and his related ideas about homology. We argue that Gegenbaur's conviction of the primacy of comparative anatomy and his careful consideration of caenogenesis led him to a more balanced view about the relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny than his good friend Ernst...
