Lang, Arnold

Born June 18, 1855, in Oftringen, Aargau; died Nov. 30, 1914, in Zürich. Swiss zoologist and specialist in the comparative anatomy of invertebrates.

Lang was a student of E. Haeckel. From 1878 to 1885 he studied various groups of marine invertebrates at a zoological station in Naples. In 1889 he became a professor at the University of Zürich. His principal works were on the comparative anatomy and phylogeny of worms. He was the author of a theory of the origin of turbellarians from Ctenophora and of annelids from Platyhelminthes. He also developed a hypothesis on the origin of the coelom and the circulatory system. A number of Lang’s works dealt with the influence of sessile life on the origin of asexual reproduction.
