INDO-EUROPEAN LANGUAGES, LINQUISTICS & MONISM

ARYAN LANGUAGE & INDO-EUROPEAN CONQUERS

Ernst Haeckel's semi-linear evolutionary tree of the Indo-Germanic and Aryan languages (from the 5th ed. of The Evolution of Man, 1910).

Johann Axel Palmén (a nephew to E. J. Bonsdorff, the archiatry of Finland and an anatomist in the Cuverian fashion) had adapted the methodology of comparative anatomy when he studied under Gegenbaur after the Altmeister left to Heidelberg to make room for the young Haeckel. Palmén was the first one to apply the common descent in his dissertation in Finland (in 1874), after which he studied under the supervision of Carl Gegenbaur the years 1875-1876 in Heidelberg. In fact, Palmén had already travelled to Germany to study under Rudolf Leuckart in Leipzig when he met with his inspirator Ernst Haeckel who persued him to study under Gegenbaur instead (Anto Leikola 1980, 1982c).

Not only Harry Federley, the father of the Finnish genetics and eugenics legislation alike, but also Palmén the Patriot, had started from the assumption of Haeckel's recapitulation. If ontogenesis was a recapitulation of phylogenesis, it could have been possible to draw phylogenetic conclusions about bird behaviour through developmental studies. Palmén wished to study the maturation of the instinct in young birds. Palmén had seen ornithology as a means of uniting patriotic and scientific interests when in 1912 he had distributed two thousand aluminium rings for marking (birds, not yet the human beings; Anto Leikola 1982d). Gegenbaur's influence might have moderated Palmén's mind from the Haeckelian enthusiasm with its ahistorical ideas welding Darwin together with Goethe and Lamarck (Eero Vallisaari 1982).

 Johan Axel's step-brother Ernst Gustaf Palmén handled the "language organisms" like any other material, experimentally. Another even more important Finnish philologist was Johan Richard Danielsson (-Kalmari), who showed an intimate appreciation of the Haeckelian Monism already in his inauguration lecture in 1881 (Pekka Lappalainen 1965). Ernst Haeckel had derived the term "Monism", actually, from the linguists, and applied his linear and hierarchical view on evolution to the discovery of the Indo-European languages with India in the proximal parts and High German at the crown of the language tree.

Thence, the mystic admiral of the "Aryan" invaders of India.
