Yet some version of Haeckel’s drawings can
be found in most current biology textbooks. Stephen
Jay Gould, one of evolutionary theory’s most
vocal proponents, recently wrote that we should be
“astonished and ashamed by the century of mindless
recycling that has led to the persistence of these
drawings in a large number, if not a majority, of
modern textbooks.” (I will return below to the question
of why it is only now that Mr. Gould, who has
known of these forgeries for decades, has decided to
bring them to widespread attention.)

Really? You can name a current College intro text that use these with a scientific cite and not in a "curiosity of yesteryear" kind of way?

Recently wrote?...Only now? Did the Discovery Institute hold a seance to reach him in the Great Beyond? The man's been dead for nearly a decade.
