There's a major error here that should be corrected. Baer was never president of the Russian Geographical Society. He was, for a time, chairman of its Ethnographic Division (I believe the dates were 1845-1848 and then 1858 to 1860). The nominal leader of the Geographic Society was the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, while the practical responsibilities were carried out by the Vice-President Fedor Litke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.198.156.193 ( talk) 15:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
"Baer was evolutionist, however critical towards Darwin's theory. Baer has established a major alternative to the darwinian paradigm in biology."

"From his studies of comparative embryology, Baer had believed in the transmutation of species but rejected later in his career the theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin." I think this is intended to say "From his studies of comparative embryology, Baer had believed in the transmutation of species but rejected this, later in his career, in favor of the theory of natural selection proposed by Charles Darwin."
