 Recapitulation theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The theory of recapitulation, also called the biogenetic law or ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, is a hypothesis in biology which attempts to explain apparent similarities between humans and other animals.
This argument is not only an oversimplification but misleading because modern biology does recognize numerous connections between ontogeny and phylogeny, explains them using evolutionary theory without recourse to Haeckel's specific views, and considers them as supporting evidence for that theory.
Although Haeckel's specific form of recapitulation theory is now discredited among biologists, it did have a strong impact in social and educational theories of the late 19th century.

 NIH Guide: ONTOGENY OF PERINATAL HOST DEFENSES
This Request for Applications (RFA), Ontogeny of Perinatal Host Defenses, is related to the priority areas of maternal and infant health, and immunization and infectious diseases.
This makes it feasible to molecularly and biologically dissect and characterize the key elements, mechanisms and signal transduction pathways that are important in the ontogeny of host immune defense mechanisms.
The goal of these basic studies is to provide important fundamental knowledge, understanding and insights that will translate into safe and efficacious perinatal prophylactic and therapeutic modalities, as well as useful prevention strategies to reduce infant morbidity and mortality.

 NIH Guide: DEVELOPMENTAL PHARMACOLOGY
Goals and Objectives The long-term goal of this RFA is to provide the scientific basis for the rational use of drugs in children of all ages, and to characterize the metabolism of drugs of abuse in children and adolescents.
The use of appropriate and newer techniques for the study of ontogeny from a pharmacological perspective is encouraged (e.g., knockout animals and drug applications in vivo, gene expression over time in living animals).
Insights gleaned from developmental biology studies need to be applied to understanding the pharmacology of drugs used in children in an integrated manner.

In particular, the enlargement of the neocortical association areas has most probably provided the quantitatively based, hierarchical mental constructional skills which Case suggests underlie the maturation of human intelligence and which appear to distinguish human and ape tool-using and communication behaviours.
Brain maturation data provide no factual support for the common view that the human brain is a neotenous organ.
With each cognitive and linguistic advance, new foraging and social interactive skills would have arisen.

There are, to be sure, many cases in which certain features of an ancestor are recapitulated in the ontogeny of a descendent; for example, the metatarsals of a bird, as we saw above, at first develop separately (the ancestral condition) be-fore becoming fused together.

 Evolution and Development I
Early embryologists noticed similarities between ontogeny (the development of an organism) and phylogeny (ancestor descendant relationships in a group).
Therefore, shape changes can be observed as 1) changes in the slope of an allometric relationship, or 2) changes in the y intercept of an allometric relationship.
This "branch-like" pattern to phylogeny was apparent to Haeckel, but he still claimed there was "recapitulation".

Durkheim`s thinking here is a direct legacy of Comte`s emphasis on ontogeny and phylogeny, where the development of the individual re-enacts the development of the species, which is the biological basis for the macro/micro hypothesis.
Ontogeny and phylogeny or the macro/ micro hypothesis permeates not only the science of society but the science of biology, physics, cognitive development etc.

Even on the scale of our physical bodies, the ontogeny of the body as a whole involves a phylogeny of cells, all decended from the original fertilised zygote.

Combined with the indistinguishability of internal vs. external perturbations, this intertwining of structural determination (synchronic state transformation) and ontogenic coupling (diachronic course of coupling) into a single ontogeny induces: (1) a complexity or richness of potential behaviors; and (2) a complexity of potential descriptions for those behaviors.

 Ontogeny and Phylogeny (Stephen Jay Gould) - review
Since the rejection of recapitulationist ideas in the early part of this century, however, the study of links between development and evolution has been relatively neglected.
The idea that the development of individuals is a progression through adult ancestral forms, epitomised in the saying "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny", has played an important part in the history of biology.
Many will disagree, but I feel that it is in fact the best of all Gould's books.

Nevertheless, most biologists believe many connections between ontogeny and phylogeny can be observed and explained by evolutionary theory.
Ontogeny (also ontogenesis or morphogenesis) describes the origin and the development of an organism from the fertilized egg to its mature form.
The idea that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, that is, that the development of an organism exactly mirrors the evolutionary development of the species, is discredited today.

Ontogeny is the development of a fetus from fertilization of the egg through the birth of the individual; it applies to any species.
The process of development of a fetus begins with the single-celled egg that recapitulates the very first living creatures, and then develops through the multi-celled higher forms of life to something that looks rather like the amphibians of the early history of life, and continues on until the creature hatches or is born.
