Emil Huschke

Emil Huschke (14 December 1797 – 19 June 1858) was a German anatomist and embryologist who was a native of Weimar.

Huschke was politically active and took part in the foundation of the Deutsche Burschenschaft, a student movement for German national unity.

In 1867 his daughter, Agnes Huschke, married famed biologist Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919).

Although Huschke was a devoted advocate of nature philosophy, and sought to find the connection between brain and soul (Hirn und Seele), he made significant contributions in comparative anatomy.
