Except denigration, abuses, lies and stupid questions you dont know anything. You cannot read German.
I have tried to open a thread at EVC forum where the contibutors are on much higher level than stupidos here. So especially for you:

Before 2nd WW German idealistic morphology had many prominent proponents. Nowadays the concept of idealistic morphology is obviously a forgotten theory of biological evolution. Neverthenless its basic concept of directed evolution lives poorly on the verge of the scientific interest (John Davisons PEH).
The basic concept of IM is that there are idealistic, non-darwinian forces behind the evolutionary process - "Zeitgeist" or "Typus" or "Urformen" (pre-existing formen). The main idea of the paleontologist Dacque is that human is final product of evolution. There are only idealistic, platonic "Formen" that underlie biological evolution. New types arouse suddenly and science doesn't have enough instruments to elucidate the process. The evolution is teleological process aimed for perfection and emergence of human. "Entelechie" of human is present from the beginning of the evolution and consequently human have no ancestors. It may be of interest that Leo Berg mentioned Dacque in his Nomogenesis - evolution directed by law. His concept is very similar of that of Dacque of development of a pre-existing Plan.
The interesting material about thinking and concepts of Naef, Dacque, Troll in German is here:
"Goethes langer Atem: »Methodologische Ideologien«
in der Deutschen Morphologie des 20. Jahrhunderts*".

Some materials could be found also on internet. Troll was a prominent botanist whose work was accepted world-wide.
