Recapitulation theory
From AnthroWiki
The recapitulation theory, also called embryological parallelism or the basic biogenetic law, was first formulated in 1866 by [[w:Ernst Haeckel|}} (1834 - 1919): "Ontogenesis is the short and rapid recapitulation of phylogenesis." or for short "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", i.e. every animal or human organism repeats the essential features of phylogenetic [[evolution[[ in the course of its individual development. A precursor of this rule is Baer's rule formulated by Karl Ernst von Baer in 1828, which he himself called the law of embryo similarity.
