In his view this development ought to lead not only to a reform of the whole of biology; it should also provide the foundation for a science-based world view. Toward this goal he published his Generelle Morphologie der Organismen in 1866. (...) The "natural system" of the organisms is, according to Haeckel, "their natural family tree, the table of their genealogical relationships." He first published such genealogical tables or "family trees" in the Generelle Morphologie for organisms (plants, prostista, animals), plants, coelenterates, echinoderms, articulates (infusorians, worms, arthropods), mollusks, vertebrates, and mammals (including man)."
