I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Demodex loves to cosplay.

But we should ask the lovely people of Bluesky #WhoWoreItBetter?

Demodex folliculorum or Oogie Boogie?
Side by side collage of two photos. The photo on the left is a cropped highly magnified photograph of Demodex folliculorum on a eyelash courtesy of @sciencephoto. The picture on the right is of the character Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

CW: Scientific racism

You see, Haeckel has interpreted paleontology to be a constant road to higher development, a goal-driven “perfection” of the organisms over time. Lending itself to hierarchy, in which he had seen Mittellanderm (Germanics) as evolutionary superior to others.
Caption (from SciencePhoto Gallery) 1870 Naturliche Schopfungsgeschichte (2nd edition) by Ernst Haeckel. Haeckel believed that humans comprised 12 species which evolved from an ancestor on the drowned continent of Lemuria (see map this collection). He also believed there was an affinity between the "lowest humans" and "highest apes". The poor art does much to enhance his racist case. The way selective drawing was used is easier here to see than in his famous Haeckel Embryology diagram. The pinnacle of humanity was the 'Mittellander' German ideal, and he looked a lot like Haeckel. Not everyone was impressed, his Darwinian biological contemporary Michael Foster described the plate as "at once absurdly horrible and theatrically grotesque, without any redeeming feature either artistic or scientific.".
