 | | Though "ontology recapitulates phylogeny" is a slogan not a scientific statement, remember the archaic human hominid was covered in dark hair, which absorbed the light and shielded the skin: dark skin evolved as we lost our fur. | | | You seem to be so obsessed with this "Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny" theory that you are willing to compare the physiology of an infant to an adult, and wonder why there is so much difference. |

| | Unfortunately, after it was misnamed, von Baerian recapitulation found a comfortable living in the secondary literature as a misrepresentation of metazoan development, and thus will probably be with us as a biological myth indefinitely. | | | Baer, of course, did not see it that way and insisted that Haeckel's notion of the recapitulation of more primitive adult forms was more akin to Meckel's idea, which he (Baer) had explicitly rejected. | | | From what I understand, the biogenetic law is not accepted as Haeckel defined it; that is that organisms go through the adult stages of their evolutionary ancestors during their development (ontogeny). |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Haeckel formulated his theory as such: "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny". |

| | The statement "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" (sometime called the Biogenic Law) refers to the erroneous idea that all evolutionary change involves the addition of new features to the end of the developmental process. | | | So the end result is that selection can act at many stages during the life of an organism, and a species can grow simpler or more complex over time. | | | Since new species can arise for species that have previously undergone "simplification" the tree of life has a rather convoluted branching pattern (rather than than the overly simple one implied by the incorrect phrase "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"). |
