As the embryo often shows us more or less plainly the structure of the less modified and ancient progenitor of the group, we can see why ancient and extinct forms so often resemble in their adult state the embryos of existing species of the same class.

...phase in the development of its progenitors." Darwin points out that, "...As the embryo often shows us more or less plainly the structure of the less modified...their adult state the embryos of existing species."

...disguised, in the ontogenies of more recent types. Thus Darwin himself said: "As the embryo often shows us more or less plainly the structure of the less modified...the embryos of existing species of the same class". And Haeckel went farther still, making the assumption that the embryo was, in Garstang's phrase, nothing... | |
